We have almost reached the end of January! \o/ By now, most New Year's resolutions that are going to hit roadblocks or fail completely have already done so. About 95% crash and burn before the end of January. If you're still going, you've passed the roughest part. If you're having trouble or you've given up, there are options.

Your Resolutions

How many New Year's resolutions did you make? How many succeeded? Failed? Ongoing because their timeframe is longer than one month? Did you make any changes? Add, drop, or modify goals? If so, how did that work out for you? How do you feel about your 2024 goals so far?

Remember that your goals belong to you. If they aren't working, you can fix them, or abandon one and replace it with something else. Don't beat up on yourself because the first thing you tried didn't work out perfectly. Just trying new things is a useful life experience that puts you ahead of where you were before you started. You can always try again another day. Even failure is useful information that helps you set better goals in the future. If you succeeded way beyond the goal, consider a more challenging one next time.
