New years resolutions, many of us make them, but do we keep to them? Are they realistic?
Recently i case across this cartoon on mashable, from DogHousediaries, and it reminded\ me that often we set New Year Resolutions based on “The Plan”, and not on the considered reality
According to Forbes 40% of us will make a New Years Resolution, and of that only 8% of people that make a resolution, keep it.
Looking forwards, according to research by University of Scranton. Journal of Clinical Psychology, published dec 2013:
Rank Top 10 New Years resolutions for 2014
Well these do not look like SMART Objectives, so is it any wonder that only 8% succeed?
Ensure your goal is sensible and achievable, set it too high and for many of us, we will just give up.
What specifically you are going to do to make progress towards the stated goal?
Small “baby steps” or milestones, something to measure yourself against
Things will go wrong, like any “project” so build in steps to manage in these difficult times
Some people just cannot achieve goals on their own, “phone a friend” or have a buddy
Not every New Year’s resolution was meant to be kept. Some are easier to keep than others. Sometimes it helps for a person to make a few fun resolutions you know are unrealistic and have no intentions of keeping :)
