What do you want your 2017 to be like?
One of my friends resolved to drink more, smoke more, exercise less and go into more debt in 2017.
This was his logic behind the bad resolution: at the end of the year, the opposite of what he set out to do always seems to have happened. So now he deliberately sets himself the opposite of what he actually wants. In the hope of achieving it.
Good intentions are not enough
There are no official statistics. But my guess is that 70 - 80% of all New Year's resolutions fail. There are various reasons for this, e.g. New Year's resolutions don't suit you or are formulated too unrealistically or vaguely.
That was the bad news. The good news: You can learn to choose goals that are deeply motivating for you and actually achievable. It's not that difficult.
The three steps for good goal setting
You need three ingredients to achieve a goal.
- A why: You need a real, deeper reason why you are doing something. This usually has something to do with who you are (your personality) and what you need (your needs)
- A like: The inner attitude with which you want to tackle something
- A what: The specific action you want to do at a specific time.
