Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail

Hi everyone. Did you know that only 8% of people who make New Year’s resolutions actually succeed in achieving them? That’s a 92% failure rate!

 Does that mean we shouldn’t bother making resolutions?

 Not really…

 Here is the good news. Those who do make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t explicitly make resolutions.

 So it’s definitely worth it!

The problem is, most people who make New Year’s resolutions lack the tools and support they need to achieve their goal.

They try to do too much too soon – and get overwhelmed and burn out. Or they run into unexpected roadblocks and get discouraged. They haven’t created a realistic plan for themselves – and go off in all directions without ever making any real progress toward their goal.

My record with resolutions is ok. I have managed to keep some while some I have failed. What I noticed with those that I managed to keep was that I think they were realistic and I was able to track them and measure them. Also, what I did was calculated backwards and broke the goals down into yearly, monthly, weekly and daily goals. So that would be my suggestion. Good luck!
