Resolutions are Overrated
I absolutely LOVE the concept of goal setting.
In fact, I think it’s absolutely critical for long-term success. The problem arises when we align the goal to a specific time of year that both prevents us from taking action NOW and gives us permission to abandon the goal once that time of year passes.
Let me explain… If you have a goal to get yourself healthier, lose weight or do a triathlon there’s no better time to take action than in that very moment of decision. Putting it off to start on a certain date can be a recipe for either failing to start or failing to stick with it.
Because when you’re serious about something, you take action NOW.
Also, having that time-oriented mindset can mean that if too much time passes (like it gets to the end of January before you take action on a resolution), it’s very common for people to just call it all a wash.
Have you ever experienced either of these scenarios?
Most of my clients have. The best thing you can do is take IMMEDIATE action when you’re committing to making a change.
So, while I’m fully in support of setting goals, statistics show that resolutions are overrated. Given that less than 10% of people stick to their resolution long enough to hit their goals, I want to encourage you to start thinking about this new lifestyle you want to create and choose that new lifestyle in each moment and in every action.
This is, of course, easier said than done… and I’m here to help you.
