RE: Why New Year’s Resolutions Are So Hard To Stick To - And How To Make Them Easier

in #psychology7 years ago

"If we really examine our deepest feelings about the change we are proposing to make, we will find that in most cases we actually “enjoy” what we are proposing to stop doing, more than the prospect of not doing it."

Well said, I believe that New Year resolutions are sometimes a form of telling our conscience: "OK, I'll try", in order not too feel guilty about something that we are doing or doing too much, although we know that we won't stick to the resolution.

"New Year’s resolutions really are an admirable and positive thing to undertake, that can seriously help change your life for the better if you get to the root cause of why you are indulging in an “unhelpful” behavior in the first place."

Nice thought, that way we would fully understand the cause of our problem(s) and might decide to really stick to our resolution(s).

Cheers Jack, keep up the good work! : )
