Episode 54 - Why New Year's Resolutions Don't Work

So many of us make New Year's resolutions with good intentions, but we very rarely keep to them, which can be disheartening and counter productive. Instead of helping you forge ahead, they just make you feel worse about yourself! In this episode, Shaa breaks down a better way of making New Years commitments - stacking the odds in your favour in order to actually achieve your goals in 2022... KEY TAKEAWAYS By the first week of February, over 80% of people have forsaken their New Year's resolutions, and by the end of March, almost all have been forgotten entirely. Instead of trying to take on too many things at once, why not set a single goal for each area of our lives, which makes things far more manageable. We need to make a commitment to 1-3 things that we want above all other things. Stretch goals are the best goals - make them just beyond your reach, but not so far you have no hope of ever reaching them. Accountability keeps us disciplined. Make sure you track your goals and surround yourself with people who will help you keep on track.
