Is setting New Year's resolutions disempowering?

Today I explore why traditional New Year's resolutions often fail and introduce a more intentional, emotionally connected approach to goal-setting.

I agree with the pundits. Ditch the resolutions and use your birthday as a personal milestone for creating meaningful goals.
