Statisticians paint a dark picture. The statistics are grim. Why? We’re frequently enticed by the quick fix and big declarations.

Reframing Your Resolution Removing Gimmicks and Growth Mindset
Instead of viewing resolutions as a set of unattainable goals, let’s approach them as a framework for conscious expansion. Focusing on the process instead of the end result is the best approach. Concentrate on developing healthy habits like mindfulness in eating and fitness, and not seeking out a body that looks attractive. Commit to a consistent exercise routine and celebrate the small victories along the way.
