Beyond Resolutions: Embracing Systems for a Success-ful Year

Are You Ready for February?

‘How are your goals going so far this year? Have you hit the ‘end of January’ slump – or are you going strong?  🙂  January is notorious for being the month when many well-intentioned resolutions fall by the wayside. Research indicates that, by the third week, people often throw in the towel on their goals. The initial enthusiasm of week one gives way to the so-so vibe of week two, and by week three, the temptation to quit becomes VERY VERY real. So, how do we navigate this cycle and actually make lasting changes? Well, after lots of research and some trial and error over the past few years, I’ve discovered a more practical approach that seems to do the trick for me: setting systems for success, instead of goals.
