5 Reasons New Year's Resolutions Fail
Estimates vary, but in general, the number of people who actually keep the resolutions they make on January 1 is low—roughly 1 in 10. In fact, most of us barely make it out of the gate: 75 percent of resolvers lapse in the first month or two. So what are 90 percent of us doing wrong, and how can we get it right this year? Here are the five most common missteps. Set the stage for success and a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!
1.) Your goal is too broad
2.) No one’s got your back
3.) Everything else is the same
4.) There’s no backup plan
5.) You didn’t allow wiggle room
I am doing my best to not become part of that 75%.
