Did you know?
The average person only sticks to a new diet for 4 weeks. It’s not for lack of trying; it’s about having the right tools and support.
As we welcome 2025, many of us set ambitious health goals. However, it's important to understand that the failure to reach these goals is often not your fault. Fear of failure, habitual behaviors, and mental barriers are significant factors that impede progress.
Why Do We Fail at New Year's Resolutions?
Fear of Failure: Research shows that fear of failure can paralyze us, leading to procrastination and avoidance. A study by the University of Scranton found that only 8% of people achieve their New Year's goals.
Habitual Behaviors: According to Charles Duhigg's "The Power of Habit," our habits are deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that are hard to change without the right strategies.
Mental Barriers: The American Psychological Association highlights that mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, can significantly affect our ability to make and sustain changes.
It's Not Your Fault Often, it’s not a lack of trying but a lack of the right tools and support. We might know what we need to do, but changing long-standing habits and mental frameworks is challenging. This is where a comprehensive approach comes in.
