Progress of New Year's Goals

Now that we are halfway through January, how are your New Year's resolutions going? Have you stuck with your goals? Or have you given up already? Research has shown that it takes 21 days to create a habit. If that's true and you have stuck with your goal, you are well on your way to creating a new habit!

If you have given up, what made you give up? It's a good idea to evaluate the reasons that you gave up so that you'll know how to overcome those reasons in the future. Some of the most common reasons that people give up are: procrastination, lack of discipline or accountability, and not having a plan. Do you fall into any of these categories? In a study done by the Gail Kasper consulting group, 99% of respondents felt they needed to improve in more than one area of life. The surprising news is that only 9% are actively doing anything about it. ONLY 9%!!

Do you want to be a part of the 9% or the 90%? If you are already part of the 9%, keep up the good work! If not and you'd like to be, what can you do today to recommit and refocus on your goal?


Wishing you much success as you work toward your goals,
