7 New Year’s Resolution Mistakes

7 New Year’s Resolution Mistakes

7 New Year’s Resolution Mistakes

Many of us have made New Year’s resolution mistakes. We set New Year’s resolutions only to abandon them once the initial excitement is past. This is so prevalent that the second Friday in January has become Quitter’s Day, when many people give up on their New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve experienced this, it likely wasn’t due to a lack of desire to achieve your goals. The reason might be one or more of these seven common mistakes.

7 New Year’s Resolution Mistakes

1. Avoid Overloading on Resolutions

Setting multiple resolutions, such as losing weight, learning a new language, and exercising daily, can be overwhelming. Choose one resolution to focus on.

2. Be Specific with Your Goals

Instead of saying, “I’m going to lose weight,” specify how much you want to lose, outline your plan, and set a deadline. Being clear about your end goal improves your chances of achieving your resolution.

3. Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute 

Take some time to reflect on your resolutions before New Year’s Eve celebrations. Avoid making impulsive decisions influenced by the festivities.

4. Break Down Big Goals

Large goals can be daunting. Divide them into smaller, manageable steps. For instance, if you want to run a half marathon, start with shorter runs and gradually increase your distance. Similarly, if you plan to write 100 blog posts, spread them out over the year instead of cramming them into January.

5. Share Your Resolutions

Don’t keep your goals to yourself. Sharing them can create accountability and motivate you to stay committed.

6. Focus on Actions, Not Just Goals

Keep in mind that you can’t “do” a goal, but you can engage in activities that lead to achieving it. Concentrate on the actions that will help you progress. Without a plan of action, a resolution is little more than a wish.

7. Keep It Simple

Simplicity is key. For example:

  • My New Year’s Resolution is to ___________________.
  • My deadline is ___________________.
  • The activities I will change, improve, begin, or stop to achieve this goal are: ___________________.

In conclusion, as the actor Errol Flynn humorously suggested, perhaps the best resolution is to “quit making resolutions!”

From all of us at Berger Hargis to you and your family Happy New Year!
