It is that time again... New Year means New Year’s Resolutions. Of course we are all concerned to put the major challenges of 2020 behind us and hopeful of recovery and rebuilding in the year ahead. However the reason most New Year’s Resolutions falter after a few weeks is because they are based on the premise that we can force personal change on ourselves from the ‘outside-in’.  Focusing on the intended behaviours alone, such as learning yoga or eating less, is a limited strategy.
