17.My husband hates going to the gym in January. Not because he doesn't want to take exercise after the Christmas break,but because of the amount of new people there.Without fail,every January brings eager new gym members filled with excitement over their New Year's resolution(决定):Join a gym.His frustration(沮丧)is short-lived though;within a matter of weeks only a few new comers are still there.In fact,research suggests that only about 8%of them remain.That's the amount of the 40%of people who set resolutions who actually keep them.
Why is it so hard to keep new year resolutions?I believe it is because we make them difficult to keep.They're too specific.Look at the resolution:join a gym.What's the problem with it?Maybe your schedule makes it difficult to get to the gym regularly or you don't like the atmosphere.It's all too easy to fail at goal-setting when you focus on a specific goal.
So what do you do instead?This year,I want you to focus on feelings and experiences instead of goals.Why do you sign up for a gym membership?Because you want to feel healthy,get fit and feel energized.There are lots of ways besides the gym to get these results:eating better,walking more,taking a dance class.If you don't like one thing,move onto the next.You need not feel like you failed because you are still looking for the feeling.
By focusing on feelings you stay open to opportunities around you.Instead of blindly following only one way that may or may not work,you can explore a variety of options.This year,instead of a list of resolutions,make a list of things you want to feel and experience.You can't fail
