While watching the news this weekend, it was brought to my attention that January 17th was a national holiday. This "holiday" was not one that many were happy to celebrate, rather one that acted as a transition from good intentions to old habits.
It is unknown as to when "Ditch your New Year's Resolutions" Day was created, but its distance from January 1st certainly does not provide adequate time for people to make good on their goals! Although the 21 day habit formation timeframe has been determined a farce, quality time is needed to make a full transformation.
According to Business Coach, Tim Bartow, there is a model that is to be followed in order to prove successful in habit formation. The three phases of the model are:
1. The Honeymoon
2. The Fight Through
3. Second Nature
If you opted not to celebrate on the 17th, but are feeling unsure about the future of your resolutions, try following the model outlined above. I am certain that you might just find the strength to continue on your journey to a terrific 2014!
