Oh how I love New Years Eve!! The clock strikes 12, my slate is wiped clean, I make my new year’s resolution and it’s sealed with a kiss. Happy New Year!! My heart is filled with determination and I’m ready to make it a great year.
Now What? My first week was awesome. My willpower to achieve this new years resolution was on fire! I ate healthy, worked out, lost a couple of pounds only and then …I started to hit the wall.
OHHH NOOO! Why am losing my focus? Why am I struggling? This year I really wanted to successfully knock my new year’s resolution out of the park!
What goes wrong? Why do we all struggle with New Year’s Resolutions?
I’m a bit a of data nerd so I did some research. A whopping 45% of Americans make New Year’s Resolutions. Guess how many are successful in their resolutions? Only 8%! So Why is that? Resolutions are goals, right? Well, resolutions are almost always goals but they lack what it takes to make them a good goal.
A good goal is intentionally connected to your vision, or your “why”.
A good goal is one that is:
- Written
- SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely)
- Reviewed daily
- Has action steps
- A deadline
- Contains accountability
- Celebrates accomplishments along the way
People with written, achievable goals, are over 50% likely to accomplish them. You HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN!
