The New Year's Resolution Effect

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

People make resolutions to get healthier and get fit and do all kinds of things, and stick to them for only a month or so. Why? Because the reasons they made those decisions weren’t the right reasons.

People stick with things and are disciplined over the long run do them because they have made a personal decision for internal reasons, not external ones. We only have so much willpower to override the ideas and beliefs coming from deep within. But when the ideas and beliefs coming from deep within are what is making us do what we do, then we can stick with it because we really want to.

Sometimes if we are struggling with staying on track, we need the right why. If we think about our beliefs and why we are doing it, and make an internal personal decision, it can make all the difference.
