Read This if You’ve Slipped Up on Your New Years Resolutions Already
You’re okay
How have the past few weeks gone? Are you on the path to fulfilling the goals you set at the beginning of the year? Have those resolutions stuck?
Or, have you slipped?
Statistics say you probably have. Your life history and experiences say you probably have. You’ve been through this cycle more times than you can count. Even if you’re one of the people who has committed so far, this advice is going to be useful for you if and when you slip.
What advice? Pretty much the same pieces of advice I’ve been giving you for as long as you’ve read my work. The recipe is the same and it has to be applied over and over and over again because you’re so prone to slipping.
Once you understand that, by default, you’re set up for failure, slippage, you’ll actually learn how to fight the uphill battle it requires to get momentum in your life. Get it out of your head that you should be productive, that you should get ahead, that you should be well on your path.
No, based on your wiring you should only be doing two things — avoiding death and having sex to create future generations. Fear and love, your two main drivers, are all you technically should worry about.
