Why You Shouldn"t Make New Year"s Resolutions This New Year
As the new year comes, here are 3 reasons why New Year's Resolutions fail...
As the new year 2020 comes you have an excellent opportunity to change your life for the better. So, what do you want to change about your life , and what's standing in the way of you doing it, starting today?
One of the best tips for making new year's resolutions this year that I could give you, is in fact not to make new year's resolutions this time round. Instead, make New Year's Commitments!
You see, the problem with a resolution is that resolutions tend to be half-baked, halfhearted wishes. It's that time of the year, right? And you are expected to want to change your life in the new year. So, what happens is that most people choose to make changes in areas of their lives where failure will be understandable and largely forgivable by their peers.
Easily made, easily broken....
This year make commitments, not resolutions. A commitment is something concrete, definite, and unbreakable. This new year make goals that are attainable, and then do your darnedest to attain these goals.
You see, when you make a goal and then you don't work to attain it, you are telling your brain that you aren't serious about what you want. So, it won't be surprising that you fail to keep your other goals.
This is why a new year's commitments stands a much better chance of being achieved than a new year resolution.A commitment is completely different from a resolution, in that a commitment is a contract with yourself to make a change.
As Anthony Robbins would have it, a commitment is a "burn-all-your-bridges" decision to not turn back, to make a change, to make a difference. A commitment offers you an opportunity to grow and to persevere.
- You don't think your resolutions out clearly
- You don't conquer the stumbling blocks that stand in your way
- You don't commit to it, meaning you go about achieving these resolutions without much conviction. You made them easily and so you can break them easily.
