019 /// Why New Year's Resolutions Work for Some but Not for Others

Around the Table with Brenda Harkins

Episode 19 - New Year's Resolutions People generally have a love/hate relationship with New Year’s Resolutions. Some people despise them and swear they don’t work. And then there’s people like me...I love New Year’s Resolutions. Actually, I just love new beginnings and fresh starts and New Year’s is an intentional time to do that, although we can do that any time of the day, week, month, or year. But I love New Year’s Resolutions because, for me, they work! And I believe they work because I don’t set out for them to be goals. Meaning, I don’t have a list of get ‘er done objectives as my resolutions that are subject to quantifiable measures. (For the most part, anyway. I did in 2023 to finish my Loud Is Not a Language book, though.) Instead, I have intentions I know will change me and change those around me for the better if I lean into them on a regular basis and evaluate how those things are showing up in all I am and do. These are intentions to live by that will change me and impact those around me. In other words, I incorporate the practice of a desired quality, which can have far reaching effects vs. behavior for a desired outcome, which has limited effect. In this episode, I am so excited to share with you how I create resolutions I am EXCITED to finish. And you can, too. Learn how to:

• Ask the right questions to help you determine the right resolution for you - the one you will be excited to finish
• Discover the motives for your resolutions–and perhaps why those were the reasons resolutions didn’t work out well in the past
• Develop a plan that will carry you across the finish line and beyond in growing you and those around you

I welcome you to join me Around the Table today as we discuss how YOUR resolutions can change YOU. --------------- Brenda is a Texas girl who loves God and people and big skies and great coffee.
