\"resolutionsDitch the resolutions and go for goals to set yourself up for success!<\/h2>\n

Have you set your New Year\u2019s resolutions for 2025? For most of us, the <\/span>resolutions we set<\/a> for the coming year \u2013 while made with the best of intentions \u2013seem to lose steam before they make it out of the gate. The result? We\u2019re left feeling down on ourselves, frustrated or even 10 steps further back than we started.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So why do we keep making resolutions year after year when we often fail at keeping them? And what can we do differently to set us up for a successful change?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at why we make resolutions in the first place<\/h2>\n

The drive to set resolutions is more often external peer or social pressure rather than intrinsic desire or self-awareness. Talk about setting resolutions overtakes news clips, magazine covers, casual conversation and social media. And so, we make them because we think we\u2019re supposed to, because it\u2019s that time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"resolutionsMaybe we <\/span>want to lose weight <\/a>to fit into how we think we should look. Or take up spinning because our friends are doing it. Or resolve to _________ (fill in the blanks) because everyone else is making a resolution and we need one too. Remember what Grandma used to say\u2026if everyone was jumping off a tall bridge\u2026<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For many of us, making resolutions exhibits a genuine intention to make positive changes in our lives. We feel like we want to, we just don\u2019t know where to start. A new year seems like a solid jumping off point. The problem is, putting off those changes to a specific start date is just<\/span> one more way to procrastinate<\/a> a difficult, intimidating or less-than-savory task (think: starting a fitness regime, getting more sleep, going on a diet, or creating \u2013 and sticking to \u2013 a financial plan.) Add in the somewhat vague and grandiose nature of most resolutions \u2013 for example: I\u2019m going to go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 5 am EVERY SINGLE DAY \u2013 and we\u2019re not looking at a recipe for success.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But what can we do?<\/span><\/p>\n

Resolutions vs goals: what\u2019s the difference?<\/h2>\n

First, it\u2019s helpful to understand the difference between goals and resolutions.<\/span><\/p>\n
