I have always been one to believe in positive affirmations.  I liked what this person promised to do in 2009:

I resolve to…

• * pick my battles and avoid sweating the small stuff.
• * focus on the positive in my relationship.
• * stop blaming others when I am just as much at fault.
• * stop making assumptions or judgments.
• * stop saying negative thing about any of his family or friends (he can reach his own conclusions—my negative views do nothing for our relationship)."

I think this is good advice for anyone, and everyone to try and follow.
