Millions of people will make New Year resolutions in the next few days and weeks. Fueled by enthusiasm or guilt, we'll change aspects of our lives and move toward achieving our resolutions.
With the coming of a new year, we tend to pause a bit to reflect on our lives. Human nature is such that our reflections are often on the negatives, what's missing, what is dissatisfying, what do we want to change.
Within a few weeks, though, most resolutions will fail. Most of us will fall back into the old behaviors.
Why do most of our well-intentioned resolutions fail?
We've fallen into the trap (again?) of failing to adequately provide another source of the benefit we received from the old behavior.
