Millions of us resolve to change something about our lives in the New Year. For most, these resolutions are going to fall by the way side within a few weeks. We often get wrapped up in the excitement of imagining the outcome without realising how much commitment it can take. I don't really think it's even a goal right if it's easy to achieve. That's part of the allure of New Year's resolutions is that they are large and grand and significant. They require that significance of the New Year in order to begin.
This week we break down the psychology of New Years resolutions, the significance of the new year for making goals and promises to ourselves, why we set New Years resolutions, the typical reasons we tend to fail and how to be successful. We explore self efficacy, personal development theory and the psychology behind failure to understand how we can achieve our 2023 goals.
