On this episode we talk about how damaging making resolutions can be, how resolutions dump you into what I call “the resolution-stress cycle” which set you up for failure, and what you can do instead to turn that all around. A resolution is a finite expectation, a hard and fast goal usually related to something that you want to fix about yourself or your life. Resolutions focus on a specific concrete outcome….an endpoint….requiring perfection….frequently out of reach and unattainable. Research shows that over 80% of New Year's resolutions fail.....so making resolutions ultimately set you up for failure. This failure causes stress....and dumps you into the resolution-stress cycle.What can you do instead? Create intentions! Intentions are broader ideas reflecting the direction you want to go for in your life, where you would like to aim. Intentions are more inviting and freeing as they focus on the journey, not a specific endpoint. And in that journey, you will find personal growth and abundance which will propel you and move you forward in the direction of your choice. I share examples of how you can convert resolutions to intentions and the steps you need to take to make your intentions successful.Need some help?
