So 2022 sees me starting back early this year helping my client’s move towards their New Year Resolutions and goals.

However, there seems to be a worrying trend that consistently repeats itself at the start of every year.

Everyone’s expectations are set way too high! They all want the quick fix.

A good example of this is around weight loss. I have clients saying they intend to lose between 2-4kg per week towards their target weight. One client vowed he will lose 20kg in one month.

These bold unrealistic statements are why over 80% of New Year’s resolutions always fail as quickly as they got started. when things don’t go as intended it’s too easy to just give up.

So to help you stay on track and make your New Year’s resolutions a reality here’s what you need to do.

The other day I listened to 2 radio presenters discussing what new habits they are trying to adopt during the Covid-19 lockdown.

One mentioned they had been meditating daily for 10 minutes.

They meditated regularly for around 3 weeks, but then the wheels started to fall off the wagon.

In their own words, they started to find meditation was becoming ‘a bit of a chore.’

why is it so hard to maintain motivation and enthusiasm over a sustained period?

“Wise men don’t judge – they seek to understand” -Wei Wu Wei

Typically, we all go through the day judging our experiences, other people and ourselves.

It’s ingrained in our habitual thinking process.

But what would it be like to simply experience something without the judgement of something or someone being always good or bad, right or wrong?

Can we learn to see judging as a red flag to remind us to stop?

Every day we are confronted with constantly changing internal and external stimuli.

This causes us to try to make sense of many conflicting forces.

A good example of this is the mental toll being endured by many around the world during this Covid pandemic.

Very few of us have the clarity to understand and navigate what’s mentally going on.

There is just too much uncertainty happening all at once for us to be able to rationalise between all the different thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

As a result, we sometimes find ourselves struggling to hold it all together.

Everything keeps changing- Our moods, our emotions and our thinking.

So what can we do to help overcome the uncertainty and fears we face daily?

We go to great lengths to portray an image that will be free from criticism and judgements.

But with all this effort are we projecting a true image of ourselves?

We repress aspects of ourselves that do not fit in with the structured ideal of our society.

However, this comes at a great cost to us.

Sometimes they are easy to fix, however at other times there never seems to be a solution in sight.
