She provides some vital perspective and tips for getting back on track if things haven\u2019t been working out as you wanted them to. In fact, US News reports that 80% of New Year\u2019s Resolutions fail by the second week of February, so it is likely that one or more of your resolutions have made you part of this statistic.\n\nHere are Kimi\u2019s tips for bouncing back if things have not gone as planned:\n\n1.Get grounded \u2013 Take a beat to reflect on what has happened recently and practice mindfulness before trying to move forward.\n\n2.Don\u2019t dwell on what is going wrong \u2013 Once you have learned from the past, move on from it. You can\u2019t change anything that has already happened, but you can decide what to do next.\n\n3.Look at your \u201cwhy\u201d \u2013 Evaluate your motivations for setting and working towards your goals. Are those goals in alignment with you and your passions? Is this the right goal but the wrong time? Is this the right time but the wrong goal? It is ok to change your mind and reframe your goal, and it is also ok to start your goals during a different time of year.\n\n4.Make adjustments so you can succeed \u2013 If you are being prevented from reaching your goals because of a lack of time or resources, change your system to take advantage of productivity hacks and time maximization.\n\n5.Lean in on your support system \u2013 Hopefully, you have people in all areas of your life who are holding you accountable. Reach out to them to talk about your struggles and ask them to help you get where you want to go.\n\n6.Look at the long-term \u2013 Don\u2019t let yourself get tied up and overwhelmed with the small details leading up to your goal right now. In this moment of renewed focus and determination, pay attention to the end goal.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022New Year\u2019s Resolutions\n\u2022Goal setting and adjustments\n\u2022Being true to yourself in goal-setting\n\u2022Mindfulness and reflection\n\u2022Why resolutions and goals fail","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/dd45bce6-578e-4e38-82b1-985063c576cc/6df6924bb3902d0c98e9be29a3d22c93.jpg"}
