It’s almost a New Year! 365 new days, for 365 new chances. An opportunity for all of us to reinvent ourselves. Pretty amazing right?

Creating a plan to better your life is important and the New Year is a great opportunity to make some key decisions of where you want to expand your time and energy for the next chapter. But to be honest, I have never been a fan of New Year’s Resolutions. The reason is because people put way too much pressure and hype on these resolutions. Then over the process, it is a proven fact that most people do not make them happen. So in turn people are disappointed or even worse beat themselves up for failing.

So why can’t most people succeed in resolutions? Because when you dive into a new start, no matter what you want to recreate or how hard you plan to achieve your new goals, change is difficult. We need to create step by step, long term goals in order to manage them and to become successful. No matter what major change you have chosen, look at it as creating better habits for yourself, not a resolution. Give yourself a break, but don’t give up.

What my approach is for the New Year is creating a fresh start and to look at the bigger picture, almost like a “year-end” review of my life. I ask myself the following:

What has worked?
️What hasn’t?
️What do I want to change?
️What do I want to achieve?

When you answer these questions, keep the following points in mind when you decide to make some new changes in your life:

Make your goals realistic.
Know the “why” and the reason you want to achieve these goals.
Stay positive, find support and if you slip, start over.
Remember it takes time, don’t put pressure on a date.
