So here we are at the end of another year. A time of reflection perhaps, of the last 12 months. And a time to think ahead to the next 12 months and what we want to achieve. For many of us, that means making New Year’s Resolutions.

The trouble with New Year’s Resolutions is what we’re saying to ourselves is “you’re not good enough”. And while trying to improve ourselves is not a bad thing, starting from a position of not being good enough is a bad thing.

So instead of setting yourself up to fail this year, why don’t you resolve to continue being you.
