Set realistic goals for 2019
A new year comes with the hope of new beginnings. As several studies suggest, more than 60 percent of people fail to go through with their New Year’s resolution in the first month, and less than eight percent actually succeed in remaining true to their New Year’s resolution. Apparently, most people fall into the trap of “false hope syndrome” while setting goals, meaning judging and setting goals on false hopes of their physical and psychological abilities.
Most goals are set based on what an individual thinks is important rather than what he or she is comfortable. Only by making realistic goals without having any false hope and by actually enjoying the process can one achieve their goals for the New Year.
