How are you holding up keeping your New Year’s resolutions? Researchers tell us most people quit their New Year’s resolutions within two weeks. That’s neither good nor bad. No one is perfect. It also depends on how we look at our resolutions. We can increase our odds of sustaining our new year’s resolution by cutting ourselves some slack. Let’s say, for example, I resolved to go walking every night after dinner. Today, I came home from work exhausted. All I wanted to do is crash on the sofa, snack, and watch TV. It felt so good when I did it. I’m going to cut myself some slack. Big deal, I took a day off. I’ll start again tomorrow or the day after. I think when we’re kind to ourselves and stop the critical chatter in our brain, we’re more likely to keep on going. Success generally comes in small steps with lots of stumbling between steps. Enjoy the journey.
