Year after year, many people notice the same thing: despite genuine motivation and good intentions, they end up feeling stuck in familiar patterns — reacting the same way, doubting themselves in the same moments, and feeling frustrated that they “know better” but still don’t feel different. If that sounds familiar, it’s not a failure of willpower or discipline. It’s a sign that the kind of change you’re trying to create isn’t something resolutions are designed to address.
