Did you know the second Friday of January is dubbed "Quitter's Day," when many abandon their New Yearโs resolutions?
Many New Yearโs resolutions fail because they rely on motivation instead of creating sustainable habits. Psychology shows we often set unrealistic goals or focus on outcomes over processes, which can lead to burnout or disappointment.
Simultaneously, when we donโt meet those goals, we can have feelings of failure that can ultimately lower our self-esteem, which can trigger stress and anxiety and take a toll on our mental health.
So what can you do to stay on track?
๐ฏ Set specific, realistic goals
๐
Track progress weekly
๐ค Share goals for accountability
๐ Celebrate small wins
๐ Be kind to yourself when setbacks happen
Building new habits takes time, but with patience and self-compassion, you can make meaningful changes that stick. ๐
