Yet we o en make resolutions in the spirit of celebration, with no real thought into what it will take to achieve them. Resolutions can be useful to identify what we’re unhappy with, but we o en don’t think more deeply about the real reasons we’re feeling unhappy or unful lled. Some people resolve to focus more on their health, while others vow to make strides in their career. Although we go into the new year with the best of intentions to make good on these goals, a er a few weeks or months into the year, we give up, asking ourselves, “What is the point of New Year’s resolutions anyway?” en we feel terrible about our lack of progress, and might turn to even worse behaviour. 80% OF NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FAIL BY THE SECOND WEEK OF FEBRUARY. Why does it feel so di cult to stay focused? Why do people make New Year’s resolutions if they don’t last? What’s the best New Year’s resolution? e answer might surprise you: Setting NO New Year’s resolutions is actually the most reliable way to achieve your goals for the upcoming year. e reasons why New Year’s resolutions fail come down to one thing: your goal-setting strategy. How you make and follow through on the outcomes you want is a long-term process, not a short-term, oncea-year resolution. When you shi your mindset from making New Year’s resolutions to creating lasting change throughout your entire life, you’ll accomplish more than you ever thought possible. e truth is that most resolutions aren’t just a matter of doing something once or twice. Transforming your life requires deep self-re ection, overcoming your limiting beliefs and building new habits. e best New Year’s resolutions are about setting goals and making a dedicated plan to achieve them. Start with small goals. You may be feeling motivated and excited about your goal, but don’t let your ambition lead you to unattainable levels… Make it measurable, Be realistic, Make a plan, Stay positive.
