Renewing Your Vows to Yourself

Do you always keep the promises that you made to yourself? Have you gone into this new year and made some new year's resolutions that you've already started to forget about?

Well, that's okay, a lot of people do that. But stick with me because I want to help you flip some mindsets and behaviour so you can keep going, and none of that will matter.

Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Emotional Intelligence Master Coach Trainer and Sustainable Performance Coach, and today I want to celebrate moving into a new year by helping you renew your vows to yourself.

As we finished off last year, we looked at a process where we reflected on the progress that we'd made. We refocused on what's important because we collected some data, aligned that with our values and priorities, and got ourselves ready for going into the new year. We went off and had a bit of a break — which was fantastic. We celebrated whatever it is that we celebrate at that time of the year, and we're already a week into 2023.

What happens a lot at this time of the year is people make new year's resolutions. Unfortunately, most new year's resolutions don't make it past the first couple weeks of the new year.

If you are one of these people who have made some New Year's resolutions to yourself, and you might have done that with some expectations coming from others, or through a lens that was not healthy. Hence, it made you stretch too far out in what you will get done in the initial part of the year, I want you to know that it’s okay.

New year’s resolutions are great if they're looked at the right way. You can capitalise on them if they're realistic and being done for the right reason. So, do not throw them out.

The commitment you make to yourself is the strongest commitment you will ever make. In the workplace, if I can get the leadership to get the team involved in developing strategies to move them forward, then there's a greater chance that those strategies will be executed because the collective team has come up with them.

Re-committing to myself is the best thing I can do to make sure that I capitalise and give back for that opportunity. And it's the same for you.
