Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail. Do This Instead For Success In 2023.
Why do 91% of new year’s resolutions fail?
They’re too big of a change with an indefinite timeline.
Here is the better way to achieve goals or make changes.
Go monk.
What does it mean to go monk, you might ask?
To go monk or monk mode is a Challenge + Fast.
The key to going monk is to focus on one thing (exercise, a project, or a habit) for a short duration (1 week to 3 months) while eliminating self-defeating distractions and vices (i.e. no social media, no binging Netflix, no sweets, etc.).
This short duration and intense focus make the goal both attainable and easier to turn into a habit.
Going monk might be the best way to make real, lasting change.
The Challenge:
Don’t wait until Jan 1, 2023. Start Now!
Pick one thing (me: returning to my daily meditation).
There are 19 days until Jan 1, do it every day for 19 days.
It will become a habit going into the dark days of the new year.
And it will build momentum toward other goals!
Now get ‘in’ there and go monk!
