Habits for a Powerful Day

Surely, New Year's resolutions is not something new or strange
to anyone. Each and every one of us must have been through
this: whether it is to quit smoking, or have a more balanced
diet, or start saving money. How many of us can boast actual
success as a result of such resolutions? Unfortunately, the data
show a grim reality: as few as less than 10% manage to keep
them for more than several months. Now, why is that, you
might wonder? According to Mr. Mark Griffiths, professor of
behavioural addiction, it is easy for people to "fall into bad
habits" and, on trying to give up such habits, "it is easy to
relapse". According to Mr. Griffiths, people do not stick to
their resolutions mainly because they set too many of them or
they are unrealistic and can thus not be achieved. It is easy to
soon feel burdened and overwhelmed unless you take one step
at a time, and set realistic goals. Furthermore, such people may
also be "victims of false hope syndrome". (unrealistic
expectations of self-change). What is it that separates the chaff
from the wheat, though? And how does one go about staying
on the right track? Join us and you will find not only how
such goals can be set to last, but also how to go about them
so as to fulfil your goals and achieve your resolutions.
