  1. Start by Taking One Step at a Time

    We all know that most New Year’s Resolutions fail.

    But do you know why?

    Here’s one possible explanation. Most people set a massive goal for their resolution, and when they start trying to make that goal come true, they get frustrated by its overwhelming nature.

    Does this sound familiar?

    Did you ever resolve to, say…

            • Lose a great deal of weight?
          • Or go to the gym six days a week for 90 minutes?
        • Or meditate for an hour every morning?

    And then… quickly realized how challenging such huge tasks are and just gave up altogether?

    If you have, then you’re not alone. If you haven’t, you’ve obviously never made a New Year’s Resolution!

    Start Small

    Try something different this January – or any time you want to build a new habit.

    Start small. For example:

    • If you want to lose a great deal of weight, then maybe start eating one healthy meal daily.
    • If you want to exercise regularly, start with a 15-minute walk three days a week, add a few minutes a day the second week, and so on.
    • If you want to establish a meditation practice, try to meditate for 1 minute each morning for a week. Seriously – set a timer! Add another minute each day during the second week, and so on.

    Another brilliant tip, popularized by the best-selling book “Atomic Habits,” is to stack the new habit onto an existing one. For example, go for that morning walk immediately after you brush your teeth.

    Try it. It works.

    Build on each small success, getting stronger at each step. You wouldn’t expect to be fluent in a new language in your first class, would you? Of course not!

    Most resolutions are about ABSTAINING from something – or punishing yourself for “bad” behavior. But this new approach is about setting realistic expectations for POSITIVE change.

    Remember, it’s never too late for that.
