From Resolutions to Results

How to Create Real Change

Every January, millions of people set New Year’s resolutions with the hope of transforming their lives. From exercising more to saving money or quitting bad habits, these resolutions symbolize a fresh start. But by February, many of these well-intentioned commitments have fizzled out, leaving frustration and self-doubt in their wake.

Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year? If so, take a moment to reflect: Have you maintained it, or has it already started to slip? The reality is that most resolutions fail—not because of a lack of effort or desire, but because they lack the structure and intentionality needed for success.

This article explores why resolutions often don’t work, the key differences between resolutions and goal-setting, and how Action Architecture, the fourth phase of the MEHAL Method, can help you achieve meaningful and lasting change.
