Every year, sometime during that haze between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, we say that next year will be different. We resolve to make changes, vowing to become better versions of ourselves. We have the best intentions, yet rarely are our resolutions lasting and meaningful. You miss a few days or don’t reach a goal as quickly as you’d hoped, get discouraged, and soon may forget or give up altogether. Why does this happen? We certainly don’t aim to set ourselves up for failure.
