Why New Year's Resolutions Fail

We come in with an attitude towards ourselves and a tremendous amount of pressure, maybe some anger or resentment. And then what happens is the rebel part of us rebels and the conscious part of us gets angry at the child. We just made the dance even more unpleasant because now we have even more pressure coming from one side and either more pressure or more floppiness coming from the other side. If we want to get our New Year's resolutions to work, we got to get our conscious mind and our subconscious mind in balance with each other.
