It is New Year's, and with it comes a new you. Your resolutions are in hand, and you are ready to transform yourself and conquer the world. Or not, because you have been here before and broke all the resolutions within a week of making them, at most.
You are not alone, as most New Year's resolutions, and other attempts to develop new habits, fail. Studies show the failure rate of resolutions to be between 81 and 92 per cent. Why is this failure rate so high and should you bother making them then?
The problem begins with understanding what with solutions are. "We need to understand what resolutions are because what people make are wishes, not resolutions. Because 'to resolve' means that it is a must. It is not a negotiation; it does not depend on whether things go south or go your way. 'This is who I decide to be'," says Jeff Israel Nthiwa, life coach and founder of Destiny Life Coaching.
