Why Most Resolutions Fail โ€“ and What to Do Instead

We hear every year that the vast majority of New Yearโ€™s Resolutions fail. But why is that? How can we learn from all that failure to ensure we succeed? Here are some of the reasons for failure โ€“ and a solution for each.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž: ๐”๐ง๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐œ ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ โ€“ ๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ (๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ) ๐ญ๐จ๐จ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ.

The solution: Start small and consistently progress. Hereโ€™s an obvious example that makes the point well. If you want to become a runner, you donโ€™t try a marathon on your first day. Maybe you commit to jogging for five minutes a day on three days a week for the first couple weeks, and then add a minute or two at a time until youโ€™re comfortable jogging for longer distances.

The solution: Involve a friend, loved one or acquaintanceโ€ฆor, best yet โ€“ a coach! Share your goals. Keep each other on track through mutual reliance and accountability. The reason for failure: Not planning and then stumbling into each new week without thinking about it. The solution: Sitting down with a calendar now and again at the start of each month to see whatโ€™s coming up that a) might be an opportunity for you or b) might be a challenge. Surprises will still occur, of course, but youโ€™ll be less likely to be thrown off your game.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž: ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐ž๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ .

The solution: Regularly assess your progress and write it down. This will keep you from feeling frustrated because you are probably making progress even when it feels pointless. Stay in the โ€œgainโ€ idea โ€“ where youโ€™re improving, as the facts show — rather than in the โ€œgapโ€ โ€“ between present reality and an impossible ideal.

๐“๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž: ๐๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ-๐ญ๐š๐ฅ๐ค.

The solution: Learning to rise above all that nonsense. Give yourself positive affirmations every day. Reward progress as you make it. Be grateful for everything thatโ€™s going well. HELP SOMEONE ELSE. Now, these were culled from research, experience, and common sense around the idea of New Yearโ€™s Resolutions. But theyโ€™re solid statements that can guide you at any point in life, no matter what the calendar says.

The solution: Take 30 min and write in a journal (not your computer) and brainstorm on who you want to be. What does it feel like? What does it look like? What emotions does it bring up for you? NOW set the goals that bring you closer to this. ๐Ÿ˜€

Sometimes you just gotta look at something from a different angle!
