Why do new year’s resolutions usually fail? Why do you start with guns blazing on January 1st, but by February, you’re losing motivation, cheating on your diet, skipping workouts, and slipping back into old patterns? John LaValle, a master trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) suggests that we should take a closer look at the meaning behind the word “Resolution”. Being derived from the word “re-solve”, it really means “to solve again.” And isn’t that exactly what happens? You solve the same problem again and again, year after year?
