DR DOYLE’S RESOLUTION WIZDOMS
- Why should we set resolutions? Resolutions are just a structured form of goal setting. Setting goals are important for us as human beings for building our self-esteem.
- What kind of resolutions should we stay away from? Stay away from goals that require you to “be something different” instead of changing a behavior.
- Is the new year the best time to set a goal? Effective goals need a timeline, but there is nothing special about the new year, except that it is a goal post that everyone recognizes.
- How do we keep our resolutions on track? The first step in goal setting is time management. Know when to start, give yourself a timeline, and be realistic about your stepping stones. Make sure you schedule check-ins with yourself to see how you did. When was it hard? What worked and what didn’t? How can we do better?
- What if we feel like our resolutions are failing? Having a good relationship with yourself is important if you want to achieve your goals. Shame never works in the long term.
