The Resolution Paradox – Why Do They Fail So Often?
Statistics paint an ominous picture. Studies have shown that an astounding 80percent of people give up within the beginning of a couple of months. Why? We are enticed by making grand statements and quick solutions. We declare a fight against negative habits. However, we make ambitious and vague goals without any plan or specificity. Failure can lead to frustration, which causes discouragement and then sends us back to our old ways.

We should not see resolutions as rigid checklists of goals. Instead, they should be viewed as a structure for intentional development. It is important to turn our attention away from the final outcome and towards the process. Instead of striving to create the perfect body, focus on developing healthy habits such as mindfulness in eating and regular exercises. Instead of trying to master a new tongue overnight you should commit to regular practice and celebrate the little victories you win on the way.
