Why Your New Year Resolutions Don't Work by Kalatium(m): 10:27pm On Jan 28
This will be one of my earliest post for the year 2024. Many people must have had a new year resolution for this year. But have you noticed that years keep going by and you keep making new year resolutions but at the end of the year you have nothing to show for it.


Below is an except from my book
WHY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS DON'T WORK:


One thing that almost everyone did at the start of this year was getting the date wrong
on documents and still writing 2023 grin

New Year’s Syndrome
Every year people make resolutions commonly on new year's eve on how they will want
the new year to be like. They want more money, plan on doing regular exercise to have
fit body, plan on starting a new business and alot like that.
Unfortunately they realize that it's already the month of December and they are yet to achieve anything. Alot of people are oblivious that they have been doing things the wrong way.

When we don’t set goals the right way, we suffer through uncertainty, frustration, and a
generally unfulfilled state-of-mind. However, what’s even worse is that, not only do we
set goals the wrong way, we tend to only set them once a year. And, this, of course,
happens on New Year’s Eve.

We get stricken with something called New Year’s Syndrome, which sees us setting
those goals once per year, and essentially forgetting about them.

However, according to a University of Scranton study in 2014, only 8% of people who
set out to achieve their New Year’s goals, actually achieve them. Only 64% stick it out
past one month, 46% past 6 months, and 8% through the end to long-term achievement.

WHY DO NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FAIL?
The reason your new year resolutions fail is because you have been harbouring the
wrong mindset.

We will discuss them below in the book:

A. TIME RELATED
1. Fast fixes
2. Lack of time management

B. PLAN RELATED
3. Lack of specificity
4. Lack of Plan
5. Having an all or nothing mentality
6. Not Truly wanting it
7. Doing it alone

SO HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS?
