Oh, how many of us created such resolutions! Starting next Monday (or January 1st<\/sup>, or my birthday, etc.) I will (start, stop, \u2026)\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u2026 it all somehow disappears, dissolves, and fizzles out leaving us with a hint of guilt and usual regrets. And here is another New Year but there is no change. Why is it like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s first consider the statement itself: it is very rigid and doesn\u2019t allow any \u201cwiggle room\u201d. If you are going to start a new life from January 1st<\/sup>, where will your old life go? And really, is your old life so bad that you are going to give it up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But wait, that\u2019s not all! You are living your life and by January 1st<\/sup> you are at a certain point of your life that brought you to all the decisions and choices that you\u2019ve made. If someone invented a time-machine, perhaps, you could go to a new point in your life in an instant, without any effort. But since time travel or teleportation is not possible, you will have to move a certain distance before you get there. It is not enough to just wake up with a resolution to \u201cbecome a different person\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your resolution may set you in motion on this path. And the fewer restrictions you impose on yourself while waiting for a \u201cperfect opportunity\u201d to start your journey, the more likely you are to start moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an interesting rule: start implementing your resolution within 72 hours after you\u2019ve made it. Otherwise, you will lose interest, deflate, and have no energy or motivation left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many of us, a New Year is a psychological milestone \u2013 it is a time to evaluate your progress. Just this process itself is quite energy-consuming, let alone creating instant changes in your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting a new life from a New Year is an illusion that you can become a different person in a blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To summarize, why starting a new life from a New Year is a bad idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
