How to Establish Your New Year Resolutions That Last

For years, I made the same resolution over and over again, and it never lasted

Most of the New Year resolutions fail by the 10th of January. It’s not about the goal being unrealistic or undefined. And it’s also not about willpower or patience.

Succeeding at your New Year’s resolutions is about establishing a system. This system has habits you’ll establish in a month. It’s so easy; everyone can do it.

We have similar goals and resolutions every year, and we are motivated to start. But life and our established routines come our way, and we give up after one or two weeks.

Motivation helps us to start, but it fades away in everyday life.

What happens is we put ourselves down thinking:

• “I’m just lazy”
• “I don’t have the willpower”
• “I knew I’m gonna screw up again”
• “I can never be successful”
• “The goal was too big”
• “I’ll never be able to do that”

and in a year the same happens again.

Don’t you want to end this negative circle?
