Learning Points: If you make one resolution, be kinder to yourself

New Year, new you, right? But what if I told you that most of the resolutions you will make this year are designed to fail so that you can achieve the self-fulfilling prophecy that you are just too weak to be able to accomplish it in the first place?

Or that, resolutions are often set into motion as a trick played on us by our subconscious to make us feel bad about ourselves.

In my own practice, I have often noticed by February, clients turn up deflated, dejected and indeed disillusioned with their own inability to accomplish a simple life goal.
