How To Stick With Your New Year's Resolutions And Goals For Good 2023!

About this video

Dr. Adeel Khan, drawing on his background in behavioral weight loss and cognitive behavioral therapy, argues that long-term goal success depends on more than SMART goals. He describes a “values clarity exercise” to uncover emotional reasons for your goals, recommends writing your “why” on visible reminders, and emphasizes adopting a resiliency mindset after setbacks rather than guilt. He also contends that identifying as the person you want to be—aligning behaviors with that identity—is fundamental to sustained behavior change.

Key takeaways

Find your emotional ‘why’ using a values clarity exercise; write it down and post it where you’ll see it daily
When you slip up, use a resiliency mindset: ask what you can do next time instead of feeling guilty
Identify as the person you want to become and align your daily behaviors with that identity
Cognitive behavioral therapy—restructuring internal dialogue—is the core principle for long-term behavior change
Seeking help from a skilled therapist or coach is encouraged, not a failure
