226 - Encore: 5 New Year's Resolutions That Will Make You Mentally Stronger


Listen Later

I released this episode in 2021. But the strategies are still effective (and perhaps even more relevant now). So we decided to re-release it so you can make 2023 your best year yet!

Most resolutions don’t work. In fact, most are abandoned by mid-January. 

Yet most people continue to establish resolutions year after year hoping that, somehow, this will be the year that they actually create change.

That's not to say you shouldn't create a goal for next year. You should. But it's important to do so in a healthy way.

Today, I’m sharing an encore performance of a new year's resolution episode from a couple of years ago. These strategies to build mental strength in the new year might be even more relevant now than they were back then.

Some of the things I talk about in today’s episode:




  • What a new survey reveals about how the pandemic has affected the types of resolutions people were making in 2021



  • The biggest reasons most resolutions fail



  • The 3 things your resolution needs if you want it to stick



  • 5 resolutions that will help you build mental strength
