New Year's resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are commonly broken, because we try to
make changes based on a date and not because we’re really ready.
And if you aren’t ready to create change, you likely won’t be
successful at maintaining it. Even changing one small habit, like
deciding you’ll floss your teeth every day or giving up your bedtime
snack, requires a certain level of commitment.


many people worry that doing something
different may make things even worse. Maybe you don’t like the
house you’re living in, but you worry that a new home could have
even bigger problems. Or maybe you worry about ending a
relationship because you are afraid you won’t ever find anyone
better. So you convince yourself to keep things the same, even if
you’re not happy.

Many people associate change with discomfort. And often, they
underestimate their ability to tolerate the discomfort that accompanies a behavioral change.
If you start by changing
your life, you can begin to make a difference in the lives of other
people.
