Most New Year’s Resolutions are around improving Self Care
What are your New Year’s Resolutions?
The New Year is by many seen as a good moment to make a change and create new habits. This can work in very powerful ways. Among the most common New Year’s Resolutions, you will find:
- Exercise more
- Improve mental health
- Lose weight
- Improve diet
- Get more organised
- Save more money
- Learn a new skill
- Spend more time with family and friends
- Meditate daily
Definitely the most popular themes are around improving mental and physical health, which involves practices for better self care! The need for better self care is recognised by most of us… However, the vast majority of people don’t stick to their goals!!!!!
Why?
Most people don’t stick to their New Year’s Resolutions
It shouldn’t be that difficult right? You just need to do it … When you made the resolution you probably felt really inspired and told yourself THIS would be the year that things were going to be different. You know your physical and/or mental health is suffering and you really don’t want this anymore!
How many times have you been through this process? Of course it doesn’t have to be at New Year per se, when you try to implement a new habit at another moment, the process is still the same. My guess is it didn’t work… Maybe for a little while but you were not able to stick to it. You are finding yourself in the same old patterns and behaviours over and over again…
You may even find your situation getting worse instead of better. You feel ashamed that you can’t do something that seems so simple, you feel guilty when you make the wrong decisions and yet you keep doing it, or maybe you have resigned to the fact that ‘this is just the way you are‘ and there is just no hope for you.
Well meaning advice from others might include: write down your goals, choose an achievable goal or break it down in small steps. These are all good tips and yet, they don’t seem to do it for you either. You think this is evidence that you don’t have what it takes.
Don’t give up!
Address the underlying issues first, then you will be able to succeed
There is an underlying problem. An underlying issue that is getting in your way. When you address this first, suddenly other things start to fall into place and you find yourself adopting these new habits successfully!
So what is happening? Firstly, you are probably living with chronic stress. When you have a brain that is chronically under stress, it typically is less capable of making good decisions. So it is really important to help your brain recover from overwhelm. And secondly, there is an underlying belief system at play – whether you are consciously aware of it or not – that has you self sabotage all your good intentions. These two systems: the stressed brain and the underlying belief system do a great job at affirming each other which has you spiral down instead of up.
No wonder you feel trapped!

The foundation upon which you can begin to spiral up! 💚
