Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail..
With a glass in hand and the New Year just around the corner, I wanted to share a quick thought about New Year’s resolutions — because they tend to get a bad reputation. It’s not that resolutions are a bad idea; it’s that we’re not always great at keeping the promises we make to ourselves.
In this video, I talk through a few simple, practical ideas from our 100 Bricks toolkit that can help turn good intentions into real action.
