The traditional belief that the New Year is the ideal time to make changes in our lives forces many people to make decisions based on what they think they should do, rather than what they want. This process sets us up for disappointment and a lack of sustainable progress which brings no measureable results. According to a recent study, 91percent of those who make resolutions don’t keep them.

In a not so traditional consideration, what then, is the key to release making changes to work for us and not be so daunting? What if those changes were reframed through a lens of perspective that said; “I chose the changes based on what I want, therefore I am responsible for their success”.

What then would be different about how we relate to our chosen changes? How easy would decisions of whether or not to have one more piece of pie be? I mean, if I choose to change my physique, and I am responsible for the outcome by my choices and habits, will one more piece of pie bring me closer to my desired outcome – or not? Decisions become easy.
