A New Year means a fresh start and today many of us will be pledging to make big changes for our New Year's resolutions.
But while we are always initially full of good intentions, it can sometimes be hard to stick to - just ask Meghan Markle, who once revealed she makes the same resolutions every year as she struggles to keep them.
According to The Mirror, Meghan made the confession on her blog The Tig in January 2016 - just months before she met her future husband Prince Harry.
And one of the habits the Duchess said she wanted to ditch was - according to her - "unladylike".
She wrote: "Run a marathon. Stop biting my nails. Stop swearing. Re-learn French. These make my New Year’s resolution list nearly (AKA actually every) single year.
"The marathon hasn't happened. The swearing comes in lulls triggered by being overworked or feeling mighty cheeky after a couple of drinks.
"Then there's the French – a language I studied through high school and then lost as I immersed myself in speaking Spanish with the Argentinians during my stint in Buenos Aires.
"I have put my little Rosetta Stone headset in my eager ears every year, resolving to do interviews en français, but much to my chagrin, it hasn't stuck.
"And when it comes to the biting of the nails – well, it still happens with a turbulent flight or a stressful day. It's unladylike. But then again, so is the swearing. Dammit."
So in a bid not to disappoint herself that year, Meghan decided against making resolutions.
She added: "For this new year, the only thing I aim to do is to approach life playfully. 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. To make my plans, and be okay if they sometimes break. To set my goals, but to be open to change."
Last year was a dramatic year for Meghan - in March she and Harry gave their bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey, in June she welcomed their daughter Lilibet and in August she turned 40.
This year is set to be a big one for the Royal Family - in June the Queen will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee.
But it remains to be seen if Meghan will return to the UK for the celebrations with kids Archie and Lilibet.
