Most New Year’s resolutions fail.

Here is why you should set them anyway.

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you new year is a bad time to start.

It’s true most people give up on their New Years resolutions by the end of January.

However,

1) You don’t have to be most people.

2) You can do it better this year and learn from previous attempts (more on this to come in the next few days)

3) What’s the alternative? Don’t start? Don’t set goals and thus make 100% sure you don’t stick to those goals?

Seems like an odd narrative to me. Knowing that most people give up on their New Years resolutions doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make them.

It means you should make ones you can stick to and get the right support to make sure you do stick to them.

& even if you did give up a month in. That is a month more exercise and improved diet. It will certainly have a positive impact on health after a calorific and inactive December.

The New Year is a great time to start.

Most people are highly motivated to make changes at this time - I am a strong advocate of not relying on motivation but when it’s there you should absolutely use it!

Behavioural science research agrees. It’s known as the fresh start effect:

'The notion that we are more likely to take action towards achieving our goals on a special occasion or date that signifies a new beginning.’

If you’re ready to change.

If there are aspects of your life you don’t like, that you know could be better.

What are you waiting for?

Life is short.

Take some action.
