Quote For New Year Resolution

The data paints a bleak picture. A staggering 88% (according to certain studies) of resolutions for the new year fail within the first month. Why? We often fall victim to the lure of quick fixes and grand pronouncements. We declare fight against negative habits. But we set unrealistic and vague goals, without any plan or specificity. Inevitable failures breed disappointment and despair. We get back to our old ways discouraged and defeated.

Reframing the Resolution From Gimmicks to Growth Mindset

We shouldn’t view resolutions as unchanging lists of goals. Instead, they should be viewed as a structure for intentional growth. It is crucial to shift our attention from the outcome in itself towards the process. Instead of trying to build the perfect body, focus on developing healthy habits, such as regular exercise and mindful eating. Instead of vowing to learn a language within a day, practice consistently and celebrate each small win along the journey.

  • Flex and experiment: The world throws curveballs. Make sure you are ready to alter your resolutions if necessary. Don’t be afraid of changing or drop your goal if it seems too overwhelming or does not align with your ideals.
