A New You for the New Year

 A New You for the New Year

New Rules for Living

Jan 7, 2018
Speaker: Donnell Wyche

We falsely believe that we can change by our sheer willpower. There’s a problem there because about 92% of us fail completely at our New Year’s resolutions and over 50% of us have given up by the end of January. We fail because we don’t understand how change works. On average, it takes 66 days (or 9 and half weeks) to form a new habit.

When people decide to change something, they believe they can muster their “willpower” and set about trying to change some behavior. Except we don’t change as a matter of will.
