I asked 26 coaches to give advice about how to actually successfully set a New Year’s Resolution. You’ve probably heard that only about 8% of Resolutions succeed.

Below are some of their highlight soundbites — these are the patterns they see with clients that work and the patterns that all of us should avoid.

First, how do you even pick a resolution?

Your resolution should make you feel a bit uncomfortable or scared, but at the same time excited. You want a goal where you aren’t 100% sure if or how you will achieve it. Jad Abumrad, co-creator of Radiolab, calls this feeling “radical uncertainty.” ~ Jeff Fajans (Leadership Coach)

Create a 90-day plan that fits into a 25 year vision. What does your life look like in 2043? Refresh your 90-day plan every 3 months in 2018. BIG DREAMS, baby steps. ~ Christine Conforti (Life Coach)

Create a resolution from a place of love and abundance, not from a place of fear. ~ Jess Coco (Weight Loss Coach)

Choose one resolution that will make you truly happy. After that everything will seems easy to achieve ~ Virginia Bense (relationship coach)
