Did you break your New Years Resolutions last year?

I am a great fan of the Heath brothers books Made to Stick and Switch! (this is not an affiliate link). As we all set about making promises to ourselves about how this will be ‘the’ year we “lose weight, exercise more, write that novel, climb that mountain”, I thought that it would be interesting to share this video where Dan Heath talks about just why change is so hard.

Visit the Heath Brothers at their website to find out more.  This is my take away tip from the brothers Heath, who encourage us to use the power of peer pressure ( ‘cos it works). Maybe we should fess up and tell everyone what or resolution is. Oh did I tell you mine by the way? I’m predictably obvious…. I want to shrink my waistline. Oh yes how boring you’re probably thinking. But there! Ive just been and gone and done it now. Ive told you guys. Now you can keep tabs on me, and bug me and maybe even come out to bat for me achieving my goal!

Happy New Year all…  I hope you make this the year you stick to your resolutions 😉
