Only 8% of Americans who set New Year’s resolutions keep them all year. And a staggering 80% fail by the start of February!
Why do so many people struggle to keep their resolutions and find themselves setting the same goals year after year after year?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re making the distinction between a resolution and a SMART goal, explaining why it’s useful to think about resolutions as a first step to create the big picture for what you want to achieve this year.
We describe how to turn a resolution into a tangible goal, challenging you to decide you’re worth it NOW and reverse engineer your vision into a monthly, weekly and daily plan of action.
Listen in for insight on shifting away from an all-or-nothing mentality and learn to set realistic expectations and take small steps every day to achieve your dreams in 2021!
