Why don't resolutions work? 

We've all done it, made lists of things we will do or stop doing each new year, and more often than not, we don't follow through.

Why is the the norm?

It's because it's almost impossible to change a behaviors without changing the belief behind the behaviors.

Habits are like beliefs, they are thoughts/actions done over and over again until we no longer consciously think about it.  We just do or think that way out of habit.

There are beliefs behind each habit that are the energy of the action.

For example, people who promise to stop over eating and lose weight each year seldom do due to not changing the inner beliefs, the core, the reason why they over eat.

If over eating is the symptom of feeling unworthy, unsafe, unloved, then without dealing with and treating/healing the reason why overeating takes place, it's unlikely that it will change.

The key to changing outer manifestation is to change the inner belief / energy that is the energy force of your life.

As a healer I realize the importance of understanding the Why of beliefs.  Beliefs are the foundation and often the very walls of your life that keep you caught in a loop of same over and over again.

In order to change, something must change.

A good place to start with changing behaviors is to make a list of what you think about a certain behaviors or experience in your life.

Using the weight example from above you could write.

Food is
I am
Food makes me
I eat when
I eat because
When I eat
My mother told me food was
My mother told me I was

As you continue to go through this process you will uncover the reasons behind the overeating and then you can shift your beliefs about this subject.

If you discover that your eating is due to feeling unloved or unworthy, you can begin to reprogram yourself with new beliefs.
Take these one step at the time, “always reaching for the better feeling thought”. (Abraham)

Coming to terms with your beliefs about yourself, your life and the world leads to a place of healing and well being. 

Happy New year.
