Here we are at the end of January and if you are a New Year’s Resolution Setter, I’m curious how you would assess your progress this first month. Research shows that 80% of these resolutions fail by the second week of February, and most people start losing steam right about… well, now.
Here’s what I notice. People who are still going strong aren’t necessarily more disciplined. They’re just asking themselves better questions. They are reflecting, not resolving.
In my last resource email, I shared the Reflection Calendar framework. If you missed it or haven’t started yet, it’s not too late. You can read it here. Starting now, and frankly at any time, is the PERFECT time to shift from resolution-thinking to reflection-thinking. Because Resolutions focus on WHAT you want to change while Reflections focus on WHO you’re becoming.
