When the clock strikes midnight sprinkles of confetti fall and a familiar sound is heard in the air: “New Year’s resolutions.” The year 2024 is about to begin and promises of a fresh start and self-improvement. The constant flurry of gym memberships or detox programs is a great moment to think about the resolutions we make.

Instead of looking at resolutions in a strict way instead, let’s look at them as tools for deliberate growth. It is crucial to shift our attention from the outcome on its own towards the process. Instead of chasing after a chiseled figure, focus on building healthy eating habits and working out regularly. Set a strict routine and be grateful for your small wins throughout the process.

• Flex and iterate: The world throws curveballs. Be flexible and flexible with your goals. Do not hesitate to alter or eliminate a resolution if you find it too complicated or doesn’t fit your needs.

Beyond the Individual: Resolutions With ripple-effects
