Top 5 reasons New Year’s Resolutions don’t work.
Here a few reasons why New Year’s Resolutions fail and what you can do to make successful un-resolutions.
Failure rate is high.
How many people do you know who have succeed with their New Year’s Resolutions?
I bet not many. Only about 17% of the people who make a resolution actually succeed.
No Accountability
Everyone else has failed too. We rationalize that everyone else has failed so it is okay if we don’t follow through.
Only time of year to make changes
So you failed, don’t have to do anything until next year
Creates a self pity party
Whoa- is me I can’t do it. What was I thinking? I will never be able to _______.
Our Inter Citric stakes a claim on our egos.
The devilish voice has a field day screaming demeaning remarks about you about your failure. This is the voice that tells you that you are stupid, fake, and helpless or a failure.
Achieving successful with un-Resolutions.
Narrow in on the target
Resolutions are to general - I want to lose weight
I choose to refrain from eating after 8:30 pm. Is a reasonable and achievable plan that will results in releasing weight.
Seek out support.
People who have to show up for classes or walk with a friend are more successful. You don’t have to do this alone. Find a friend, spouse, support group, or coach to be responsible to.
Ditch the All or Nothing mentality
So what if you did not get up this morning to exercise. Plan on exercising a bit today and get out of bed tomorrow. Fresh starts don’t only happen once a year they area available every day.
Call in the cleaning crew
The self pity party is over it was fun but it is time to get on with it.
My favorite quotation
“Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.”– Henry Ford
Parent the inner child
Treat the inner citric as a confused lonely child and send love and acceptance. That part of you only wants to be accepted, heard and cared for.
You don’t have to act on those hurt feelings but you can heal them.
Nurture yourself and you will succeed at your goal.
