We have all set goals for ourselves that should have been reachable. But somehow the old habits got in our way.
Whether you were planning a new workout regime, establishing a healthier diet, or practicing a new skill on the job, you failed. Perhaps you should take a tip from experts on the transfer of training. They say it is not the goal that defeats you as much as the tactics you choose to get there.
For example, for your new workout regime, you might be better off exercising after work than before if you are not a morning person. For your diet, why not allow yourself one chocolate a day rather than cut out sweets completely. For the new skill you are determined to apply at work, try doing one step at a time with help from a mentor rather than expecting perfection on your first attempt.
In other words, you will be far more successful ultimately if you think through and brainstorm different ways to reach your goal. Which behavioral key will sidestep failure and unlock that door to successful habit change?
