Building your psychology around avoiding failure can paradoxically increase the likelihood of failing.
Making resolutions without genuine belief in your ability to achieve them can set you up for failure.
A vague or haphazard approach to goal-setting can lead to failure. Create a detailed and actionable plan, complete with milestones and deadlines.
Failure to gather the necessary references and resources can hinder your progress. Seek support and gather tools to assist you in achieving your goals.
While your mind may acknowledge the importance of a goal, lack of emotional connection may result in failure.
Ambiguous goals like "improve my health" can lead to confusion and failure. Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.

Transform them into powerful necessities ("musts") to foster dedication.
Be honest with yourself about what you truly want to achieve. Pursuing goals that don't genuinely align with your desires can lead to failure.
