The clock is struck at 12:01 am, confetti rains and a snort can be heard. “New New Year’s resolutions.” The lure of self-improvement and new beginnings takes hold as the calendar moves to 2024. As we rush to join gyms or begin detox programs, let’s pause for a second to think about whether or not these promises will last that are destined to the graveyard of unfulfilled goals?

The statistics are grim. The statistics are grim. Why? We often fall victim to the lure of quick fixes or grandiose pronouncements. We declare war on unproductive habits, and set overly high-risk goals without any specificity or an outline for implementation. Inevitably, failures lead to discontent and frustration. We go back to our old methods, discouraged and disappointed.
