New year, new me mantra. That’s right. This year it’s just the same old me. I’m not doing my usual New Years' resolutions and here’s why. 2019 was a rough year for me. I had a lot on my plate and even more pressure that I put on myself. It was hard and most importantly it didn’t help my personal growth. So, this year I’ve decided to give myself a well-deserved break. Not a break in the sense of a gap year or not challenging myself, but a break in being so hard on myself. The first step towards this: ? NO ? MORE ? RESOLUTIONS. With help from an article by Sarah Bedrick (previously of Hubspot Academy), in place of setting lofty, pie in the sky, year-long resolutions I will be working on 30-day challenges. 92% of people fail to achieve their New Years' resolution. Why? Because setting goals like that simply doesn’t work for most people. 30-day challenges are a much healthier way of goal setting because they are: More manageable (mentally and physically). They build confidence instead of reducing it. And science says doing something for 30-days is enough time to develop a new routine around it. Join Justine and I as we discuss breaking up with traditional resolutions and kindling a new relationship with 30-day challenges. (And if you’re really curious here are our resolutions from last year.)
