During this episode, New Year Same You Author of Breakthroughs & Bless You’s 100 Day Devotional Journal and Life Coach Kara Barker encourages listeners to skip making those short-term or quick fix New Year's resolutions but instead setting intentional strategic goals with grace.
Truth be told, only 9% of people actually keep the resolutions they set for themselves with most quitting before the end of January.
If you’re constantly tracking, reflecting, re-prioritizing, adjusting, and strategizing to keep any of your resolutions you might be going about it the wrong way. This can become problematic when you're doing it from a place of pressure or obligation -- when you feel like you have to set a New Year's resolution to hop on the bandwagon like everyone else.
If there was ever a year to give yourself a break, it's this year. But if you're itching to make some type of change or adopt a "fresh start" mentality in the New Year, Kara suggests starting small.
