Welcome to a brand new year. This is your friendly dose of reality because we want your year ahead to be everything you need and want.
Imagine if your 2022 really could be different to the years that have gone before. New year resolutions rarely yield ongoing results because our motivation fades and, often, it fades fast. How many of us start something on the 1st of January, such as a new diet and exercise regime, and by Wednesday we’re eating four slices of peanut butter toast and skipping the workout? Or we have vowed to put ourselves forward for a promotion, yet back away when the manager looks too busy? The behaviour and mindset that gives us the greatest chance of success in 2022 is commitment. So that even if we eat the toast, breaking our no-carb rule, and delay seeing the manager one day because we’re trying to find the confidence, we gather ourselves and get back on the case the next day. We’re committed to the end goal and to persevering. On the other side of commitment is where your success is waiting. Depending on motivation to get you there is a road to nowhere.
Motivation is a feeling: commitment is a mindset. If you really want to create change this year, reflect on these questions:
There are no short-cuts
If you’re someone who’s been having the same conversation with yourself about what you need to do next, it might just be time to pay attention. There really are no short-cuts to having a happy, healthy and successful life. Do the work now and trust the results will come later. No-one else can make this happen for you. When it feels hard, your job is to keep going. We all have untapped potential and resilience that’s there to draw on. The most successful people in the world did the work on themselves so they could get there.

Investing in you right now is possibly the most important investment you’ll ever make. And you know what? You
