Familiar With Repeating Resolutions? You're Definitely Not Alone
So, you’ve found yourself this year rewriting the same New Year’s resolutions you had last year? Let me tell you, you’re not alone. Even Meghan Markle, the now-wife of Prince Harry, admitted on her former blog, The Tig, that she has a couple of resolutions that stubbornly make their way onto her list year after year. In a candid post from January 1, 2016, she confessed, “These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (aka actually every) single year.” Now, here’s the kicker—she’s talking about breaking a bad habit of swearing and biting her nails. Yep, even the Duchess of Sussex struggles with these common quirks.
She elaborated further, sharing that her tendency to swear comes in waves, often triggered by being overworked or feeling cheeky after a drink or two. If you find it hard to believe that the now-wife of Prince Harry occasionally lets a curse word slip, don’t be. Meghan has consistently reminded us all that she’s just a regular girl navigating life’s ups and downs, much like the rest of us.

Meghan went on to admit that her nail-biting habit is one she simply hasn’t been able to shake. “And when it comes to the biting of the nails — well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day,” she wrote. “It’s unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit.” While Queen Elizabeth might not approve of such language or nervous habits, Meghan’s honesty only adds to her charm and relatability.
Inspiring Resolutions Beyond the Basics
But don’t get the wrong idea—Meghan’s resolutions aren’t all about breaking bad habits. The 36-year-old actress also shared a list of inspiring goals for the new year. “For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully,” she wrote. “To laugh and enjoy, to keep my standards high but my level of self-acceptance higher. My New Year’s resolution is to leave room for magic.”
This message is powerful and refreshing. Who doesn’t want to embrace life with joy and an open heart? She continued, “To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change. To let the magic know that there is an open-door policy with me in 2016 and that it is always welcome to join the party.”
We love this approach. It’s not just about setting rigid goals but about creating space for life’s unexpected twists and turns. Meghan’s words remind us to invite magic into our lives and to be open to whatever comes our way.
