I’ve had my fair share of failed New Year’s resolutions. In the past, I’ve had unrealistic goals and expectations or forgotten about them altogether. Most people have had a similar experience: Over 60% gave up on theirs by February, according to a 2023 study from author and psychologist Michelle Rozen.
The problem for many of us who don't follow through is that our goals tend to be vague, unattainable or misaligned with our deeper values, says psychologist Chamin Ajjan. So we fail to create the emotional commitment needed for real change.
Ajjan recommends these five tips for successfully reaching your goals in 2025:
1. Set intentions that align with your values. Get clear on what you truly care about and why you want to make a change before deciding on a certain goal.
2. Remember to subtract. “Instead of adding to your long to-do list, try making a let-go list. Identify habits, thoughts or commitments that no longer serve you,” Ajjan says.
3. Get inspired. “Take time to journal, visualize or even create a vision board that reflects your values and intentions. By keeping your vision front and center, you reinforce your emotional connection to the changes you want to make,” says Ajjan.
4. Celebrate progress, not perfection. Be proud of your small wins and make room for your goals to change if needed.
5. Lead with love, not judgement. “Approach your journey from a place of self-compassion and empathy rather than harsh criticism,” Ajjan says.
For me, personally, the first tip is the most important. It’s easy to get someone else's expectations or goals for you mixed up with the life you want for yourself. I would have saved a lot of time, money and energy had I learned that lesson earlier. 
This year, I’m committing to prioritizing my mental and physical well-being and staying true to what matters most to me, whether it’s through setting boundaries with people, fostering new relationships or pursuing projects and hobbies that align with my passions.
