15 Difficult Resolutions To Keep (2 of 5)

Not Having A Plan

All of these resolutions I’ve mentioned all have one thing in common: they lack a plan. As the old saying goes – “fail to plan is a plan to fail.”

If you’re looking to stick to a resolution, there needs to be planning. Set some goals around it, outline the steps you need to take. Take a few weeks to record your progress on paper.

Not Having Clear Outcomes

In addition to having a plan, it also pays to know expected outcomes. Not necessarily the finished results, but you at least want to know if you do one thing, you expect something to happen.

If you work out consistently, you expect that in a week or two you’ll start to lose weight for example.

Being Happier

Everyone wants to achieve happiness in their own way, but it’s not something that can happen overnight. Being happier is about shifting your mindset and it’s not as simple as flicking a switch.

The reality is that we can’t control our feelings at all times. What’s more important as a resolution in this instance is to set a goal to do more things you enjoy doing. Or maybe being around people you want to spend more time with.

Resolutions like this can bring happiness to you.
