As the clock approaches midnight, and the confetti falls on the ground, a familiar voice is heard throughout the air, “New Year’s Resolutions.” The lure of self-improvement and new beginnings is evident as the calendar moves to 2024. In the midst of gym memberships and detox programs it is worthwhile to pause and think about: Are these resolutions just empty promises that will go to the graveyard with no goals, or can transform into valuable plans for personal growth.

Unpacking Resolution Paradox What’s the cause of their failing?

Statistics paint a grim picture. According to research, 80% of all resolutions fail within the first three months. Why? We often fall victim to the lure of easy fixes and grandiose declarations. We declare war on bad habits and set overly ambitious goals with no specificity or plan of action. Failures are inevitable and cause frustration and discouragement. We return to our previous methods, discouraged and defeated.

Reframing The Resolution: From Gimmicks towards a Growth Mindset

Resolutions should not be viewed as rigid checklists of goals. Instead, they can be viewed as a structure of intentional growth. The key is to change our focus from the result on its own to the process. Instead of trying to achieve a perfect physique, focus on building healthy habits, such as daily exercise and eating mindfully. Instead of taking on the task of learning a new tongue overnight make a commitment to a regular practice and be grateful for the small victories you achieve throughout the process.

Reframing Resolution From Gimmicks To Growth Mindset

Resolutions should not be viewed as a list of rigid goals. Instead, we should see them as a means to attain an intentional process of growth. Our focus should shift from the end product to the actual process. Instead of trying to achieve a chiseled figure, focus on developing healthy habits for eating and exercising daily. Set a strict exercise routine and celebrate the small wins throughout the process.
