An Alternative To New Years Resolutions That Actually Works!
If you struggle with New Years Resolutions, you aren’t alone. It’s estimated by University of Scranton Psychology Professor John C. Norcross that less than 10% are actually achieved.
So why do most of us struggle to change our habits and make our goals a reality?
There are 2 main reasons:
1. New Years Resolutions Usually Focus On Making Large Behavioural Changes
All change starts with small habits, but most people hit January wanting to make a massive change. Instead of focusing on making small changes consistently, they try to overhaul their lives.
If you are still reading, you know that most of the time this just doesn’t work. This is because…
2. New Years Resolutions Use Willpower, and Willpower is a Finite Resource
Ever notice that you feel more motivated in the morning but by the evening it seems to have gone?
This is because willpower is like a muscle. It gets tired the more you use it throughout the day.
So if you are trying to make massive changes using your willpower, you are setting yourself up for failure.
Why Power Words Are Different
Power Words are a word or phrase you pick as a theme to guide the decisions you make as you move towards continuous improvement.
You’ll choose a Power Word that represents what you want more of in your life. It will serve as a gentle daily reminder to take small actions.
By making small consistent steps, you’ll find they add up quickly you will indeed have more of what you want in your life.
Power Words help you focus on what you want from life and help you navigate the small choices every day that accumulate into substantial change.
A Power Word has power by the simple fact that you infuse it with power. Each time you use one, it becomes more powerful. This isn’t “magic” – it’s neuroplasticity. Every time you practice your Power Word, it makes your neural pathway stronger. This is how habits are created.

Posted at 16:40h, 05 JanuaryI’m it this with you 2018 here we come. MY WORDS” STAY CALM”. I’m sure I’ll be adding to my list.

Posted at 08:19h, 08 JanuaryWonderful to have you along! I might suggest that you adapt “stay calm” to “calm”. The idea is to choose a PW that represents what you want more of in your life. “Calm” is something you can increase, and there are lots of ways to do so (meditation, deep breaths, exercise, etc.) “Stay calm” might be a little limiting for you. 🙂

Dan
Posted at 10:30h, 18 JanuarySo sorry I missed this comment! “Questionability” could work, but is that something that you want more of in your life? The idea of Power Words is that you’ll do something every day to increase your word’s qualities in your life. If you think you need to question more, then it’s a good choice.
