Whatever You Do, Don’t

. . . make any New Year’s Resolutions.

They. Don’t. Work.

The whole thing is an artificial construct that only makes you feel about yourself (and gives you a bad impression of goal-setting and achievement).

What should you do instead?

Well, you shouldn’t do anything. (Do things because you clearly and authentically want to do them.)

If you want to get clear on what you want and what’s getting in your way, get a coach.

Maybe me . . . I’m a coach. And I offer free* coaching sessions to help people get clear on what they want and what they need to do to create what they want.

* Why “free?” Because I want to 1) help people and 2) I won’t know if we’re a good fit unless we actually talk – and do some actual coaching.

  • Commitment vs. Mood

    Which one is stronger? Either can overpower the other. This afternoon I didn’t feel like going to the gym. But I hadn’t been since Saturday and my commitment to going three-to-four days per week was in serious jeopardy of being violated. So I went to the gym and worked out. Commitment > Mood.
