152 - Why Don't New Year Resolution Stick?

Most of us can easily set goals and New Year resolutions, but what makes it so hard to achieve them? It appears that wishing for goals is easier than done. Why is that?In this episode, Nadia not only warns us of the pitfalls that will distract us from achieving our goals but also goes deeper in explaining the driven energy behind high achievers. Nadia illustrates thoroughly how to convert your passion and enthusiasm into a powerful energy source that is vital for your goal’s achievement and success.The first step is to align your goals with your core values; otherwise, it will be easy to quit at the first sign of defeat. When your goals align with your life’s purpose, it’s no longer a goal. You are taking a stance. When you reach that place in your mind, your goal becomes non-negotiable and defeat is not an option.This state of mind is crucial at first because without realizing it, your new passion will most likely trigger some discomfort in your environment, and they may attempt to stop you from your dream. Nadia reminds you that no one else controls your life but you. Thus, you are your only limit.The next challenge is to find the right balance between passion, enthusiasm, and warrior energy. Warrior energy is great, at first, to help you create new habits. However, it’s your passion and enthusiasm that will sustain you in the long run and help you turn hard and laborious tasks into a blissful and rewarding journey.
