Want your new year's resolutions to stick? Read this first
Published about 2 months ago • 3 min read
Did you know that January 12th is officially known as “Quitter’s Day”? That’s right. Research shows that by the second Friday of January, most people have already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions. The statistics are sobering: only 9% of people actually achieve their New Year’s resolutions, while 91% fall short of their goals.
Why do so many resolutions fail? The answer lies in our fundamental approach. Most new year’s resolutions focus on external changes – exercise more, eat less, save money – without addressing the deeper dimensions of transformation. We try to change our behaviors without changing our identity. We fight against our current habits instead of raising our vibration to naturally attract better ones. And perhaps most critically, we ignore nature’s rhythms, trying to force massive changes at a time when our bodies and spirits are naturally drawn to rest and reflection.
Yet every year, millions keep trying the same approach, expecting different results. There is, however, a more powerful way forward – one that doesn’t require a long list of new year’s resolutions or superhuman willpower. One simple, profound commitment that could transform every aspect of your life in 2025. In this first article of the year, I’ll share a revolutionary approach that has transformed countless lives – including my own.
