Resolutions: Additional Pitfalls that Can Cause Goals to Fail
Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing
If you have trouble coming up with a definitive goal, it could help to talk to a counselor or another person whom you trust. This also applies if you have tried to make changes in your life and just cannot reach your goals, 
seeking advice could be a positive solution.
Another pitfall of New Year’s Resolutions is that they can allow you to become extremely self-critical. Do not set yourself an unattainable resolution. Rather, endeavor to choose a goal or Resolution that is realistic. You are much better off breaking up a larger resolution into manageable chunks and, then, dividing each chunk or segment throughout the year.
Remember a year is a long time and if you force yourself to stick to something, without allowing yourself to go off course, you may never achieve your goal. Do not punish yourself if you go off track. Just identify that you have and the reason why and then just get back on track as soon as possible. By doing this, you will see much healthier results with your resolution.
Your mindset is going to change during the year, as well. This can have an impact on your resolution. While you may begin your journey with one specific goal and with one reason in mind, all of this can change. As your journey unfolds, you may discover a deeper reason for your commitment or you may find that this was not your main focus after all.
This does not matter at all, and, if this does happen to you, it can be a positive thing. Again, allow yourself the opportunity to shift gears and veer off course into a new direction.
