Why New Year Resolutions don't work and why most people give up, going back to an old behaviour!

At the start of the new year, many people resolve to be better. Perhaps you want to we want to complete an important project within a short time range but some part of you distracts you with other insignificant things too. Or you want to spend more time with your loved ones, but there’s always a compelling thing for you to stay chained to your desk.

Good intentions however are not enough. Our unwanted habits, behaviors, feelings, and addictions are not things we do consciously.

It's almost as if an unconscious part of us makes us do these things. And we fight against that part, ultimately losing the battle. As a result, we start to wonder about our lack of energy, low motivation, irritation, and procrastination. Moreover, unconscious distractions start to come up when we are actually supposed to be going at full speed! That’s where problems start taking root and we unconsciously enter a battlefield fighting with ourselves.

By February most people have already given up on their New Year Resolutions... It's almost as if an unconscious "bad part" of us makes us go back to an old behavior!

That's because in most cases our conscious, cognitive mind, willpower, discipline, and intellectual understanding are only 5-10% of our mental capacity and are practically helpless to permanently change any unwanted behaviors or habits.

For example, if we had decided to no longer do unwanted behaviors it might be easy to change it, just by not doing it! This is easier said than done... 

Instead, those unwanted behaviors or reactions usually happen on a more automatic (unconscious) level. It is as if there is an unconscious part of us that is in charge of doing those behaviors and reactions.

Year after year, people make the same resolutions and have the same struggle.

That's because individuals make up to 10,000 decisions a daily, becoming aware that they are back to an old pattern only moments after they have done it.

 The research shows that deeper processes involving unconscious factors, including needs and beliefs, shape our decision-making at an automatic level and confirms that most of our decisions are made unconsciously. It is as if there is a "bad part" of us making us do something before we even realizing it.

And we fight against that "bad part" ultimately losing the battle. That's because your conscious willpower is limited... But your unconscious mind keeps going 24/7, even while you sleep! What if there was an easier way?

So why not partnering with your unconscious mind in making the change at the deepest level, with ease... Because most of us want to thrive, contribute positively, and be confident and congruent with the self and the world.

However, to avoid this unpleasant feeling, some people learn to adapt and live with them, because it is easier to:

• escape into distraction such as work or alcohol, etc.,
• or stay in our comfort zone of inaction such as procrastination,
• or get triggered by unwanted reactions such as anger or irritation, self-sabotage.
• or get busy with wrong actions, fight with unwanted parts or suppress them… 
• Distraction, inaction, reaction, and wrong action are coping tactics of the survivor.

If you want to thrive, you have to take the Right Action!

 Actually, most of our experience is run in this automatic way, and it’s a good thing too. If we had to run everything consciously, we probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in the morning, we’d be so busy keeping our heart beating, our lungs breathing, and countless other automatic processes that keep us alive and healthy. So mostly these automatic processes work great, but when they don’t, it can be really frustrating because of how automatic they are!
