I am in no way encouraging people to become slovenly in their behaviours, but guilt is a rubbish emotion, especially when it is created by one's self.
Don't get me wrong, I love to exercise and I generally feel good afterwards, especially if I do it regularly. However the fact of the matter is, that I don't like doing it on my own and I am terrible at keeping myself accountable. I just don't go.
So here I am wasting money every week on a gym membership I don't even use and then I am doubling my guilt because 1. I'm rarely going and 2. I'm throwing money down the drain when it could be spent on other things.
So I decided that this year for my New Years resolution, I am quitting the gym and the guilt that comes with it. I can be active in other ways like hiking and if I want to do a random dance class or gym session once in a blue moon, then I can go and do it and pay the $20 as a once off. I am still saving money!
