Why most new year resolutions fail?

Start the new year correctly - Part 1.

What if the year of 2025 isn’t over yet?

Although the calendar says 2026, but energetically… we’re still finishing 2025.

Most New Year’s resolutions fail not because people lack discipline (maybe that is true too, as we not have the same willpower), but because the previous cycle wasn’t completed.

We jump forward before we’ve actually arrived to the completion point.

Right now, we’re actually in a natural closing phase of the previous year.
 This time meant for review, digestion, and honesty, not for rushing into the next thing. We struggled finding meaning to our life.

But in a few days, the energy will shifts again from this struggle and friction into ambition and new beginnings.

This ambition is the drive to create, to move higher to the top, but not through others, but in collaboration, by helping, supporting, and recognising each other. 
Its all about these questions, that you can ask yourself:

• What genuinely matters to me now?

• What do I want to grow and why?

So before you decide or revise your new year resolution, if you have any this year, about what you’ll start next, surprise yourself and others, and try this instead:

A different way to begin the year of 2026: Not by setting goals, but by looking back and check what just happened in 2025.

There is no magic here, it’s a simple reflection exercise, by becoming conscious and aware what happened with you in 2025.

Sit down and ask yourself:

• What was I truly ambitious about in 2025?

• Where did I grow, even if it was uncomfortable?

• What did I start but didn’t finis and why?

• What did those unfinished things teach me about my energy, timing, or priorities?

• How have I changed, materially and internally?

• Who did I impact along the way?

• Who impacted me?

• Who are my real allies now?

You see, it isn’t about judging yourself. It’s about closing the loop, by completing correctly the cycle.

Because when a cycle doesn’t close correctly, we tend to start things that: - drain us, because we are using our energy to the wrong goal; - don’t last long because its against our current development stage; - or don’t actually belong to us anymore.

The Gregorian calendar is just a calendar. It counts days but it doesn’t track meaning, cycles, or readiness.

Most ancient systems did that, such as:

• astrology,

• lunar calendars,

• seasonal cycles,

• even agricultural rhythms.

They all asked the same question first: “Is the old/previous cycle complete?”

So what if this year, instead of rushing into another resolution, you challenged the old habit?

What if you used these days in January not to push forward, but to harvest what already happened?

When you get clear what just happened with you in 2025, your clarity grows, and ambition, the right kind, is born from that clarity.

If this lands for you, sit with it. Do not feel the pressure. Do not need fixing anything. Just by pure curiosity.

Answer the above questions, be honest with yourself. If you want something different happen, then do something different this year.

Sometimes the most powerful way to begin is to finish well.

With Love,
