New Year Resolution Quotes 2019

The clock strikes midnight, sprinkles of confetti fall and a familiar hum can be heard throughout the night: “New Year’s resolutions.” The appeal of self-improvement as well as new beginnings takes hold as the calendar turns to 2024. It’s important to pause and ask, amid the endless stream of detox programs, gym memberships programs and other self-improvement programs to determine if these are fleeting promises that will be forgotten in the cemetery.

 Why do resolutions often fail?

The data paints a grim picture. The numbers are grim. Why? We fall for the seductive attraction of quick fixes and extravagant declarations. We rebuke bad habits, setting overly lofty goals, but without specificity or a plan to achieve them. Frustration and discouragement are the consequence of failingThe result is that we go back to the old habits feeling defeated and demoralized.

Reframing the Resolution: From Gimmicks to Growth Mindset

Instead of viewing resolutions as an unchanging list of goals, consider resolutions as a plan for growth. It’s crucial to turn our attention away from the final outcome and focus on the process. Instead of attempting to construct the perfect body, focus on creating healthy habits like mindful eating and daily exercises. Instead of vowing to learn a new language in a day, commit to consistent practice and acknowledge small successes as you progress.

  • Embrace flexibility and the possibility of iteration: Sometimes life throws curveballs. Be open to changing your resolutions when necessary. Don’t be afraid to change or even drop your goal if it seems too overwhelming or does not align with your ideals.
