Shruti, your perspective on New Year’s resolutions is refreshing and thought-provoking. The historical context you provided illustrates how resolutions have evolved from communal commitments to often fleeting personal aspirations. Your focus on intrinsic motivation and identity-based goals, inspired by Sinek and Clear, is a game-changer. I especially appreciate your pragmatic steps, like ditching the “all or nothing” mindset and making failure-proof goals. It's a relatable and empowering approach to personal growth—perfectly timed for the new year!
