The new year is here and so are resolutions, which many of us pick out year after year, only to realise that we aren’t able to follow through on them a month into the process. Let’s agree to find solace in the fact that you aren’t the only one who can’t stick with a resolution because there are many more who are a part of this tribe. While some feel sorry about it, others are unapologetic. 

City-based life coach Farzana Suri believes it is hard for people to stick to their resolutions because people focus on that one mega goal they wish to achieve. "When they don’t see themselves going anywhere closer to it, they feel dejected and give up. Secondly, the resolutions are set based on what others demand from them like quitting smoking, losing weight, etc. They are therefore not emotionally invested in it. It is like working on someone else’s dreams. There is no benefit in that.” She adds that there are many who have no clue what goals to set and if they have, they are unclear about the process.
