How to Make Your New Year's Resolutions Stick Past February


Listen Later

Merry Christmas and welcome to this special holiday episode!

As we stand just one week away from the new year, millions of people are setting New Year's resolutions. But here's the hard truth: more than 80% won't make it past January. Many won't even make it to mid-February.

But what if this year could be different?

In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful technique from Dr. David Hawkins' book Letting Go that reveals the real reason your resolutions fail—and how to finally make them stick.

Here's what most people miss:

Every goal you set—whether it's making more money, finding a partner, losing weight, or growing your business—isn't actually about the practical outcome. It's about the emotional outcome you're seeking.

You don't want more money. You want freedom, security, or peace.You don't want a relationship. You want connection, worthiness, or to stop feeling alone.You don't want a new job. You want fulfillment, recognition, or to feel valued.

And here's the problem: When you try to solve emotional problems with practical solutions alone, you stay stuck in the same patterns—no matter how many strategies you try.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The rarely discussed technique that makes resolutions actually stick
  • Why solving problems with feelings (not just logic) changes everything
  • How to identify the TRUE emotional outcome beneath every goal you set
  • The powerful questions to ask yourself BEFORE setting any New Year's resolution
  • Real examples: What you're REALLY seeking when you want more money, a relationship, or career success
  • How to uncover the deeper root emotion sabotaging your goals
  • Why your subconscious keeps trapping you in old patterns (and how to break free)
  • The emotional layers beneath common goals: loneliness → fear of being unlovable → unworthiness
  • How to stop self-sabotaging by February and create lasting change

When you identify the TRUE emotional root of your goal, the path forward becomes clear. And more importantly, you stop chasing external achievements hoping they'll fix internal emotional wounds.

Why this matters for making resolutions stick:

Your subconscious runs 90-95% of your decisions. If you're setting goals from your conscious mind (strategies, plans, SMART goals) but your subconscious is running on unresolved emotional patterns (unworthiness, fear, lack), you'll self-sabotage every time.

This is why the same problems keep showing up.This is why different strategies don't work.This is why you give up by February.

The solution isn't another strategy. It's emotional resolution.

This episode is for you if:

  • You're about to set New Year's resolutions and want them to actually stick
  • You've tried every strategy but keep ending up in the same patterns
  • You accomplish goals but still don't feel fulfilled
  • You know WHAT you want but can't figure out WHY you're stuck
  • You're ready for a resolution approach that creates lasting change
