    New Year Resolutions Never Work

    FREE Guide: Top 10 Parenting Tips www.familyenrichmentacademy.com   I am writing this on January 2, 2024.  The start of a new year is typically considered a time for fresh starts.  This is when we look back over our life and identify opportunities for growth. We excitedly layout plans for accomplishing personal and professional goals.    Unfortunately, by the first of February many of us will struggle to keep the momentum going.  The initial energy burst has faded and our enthusiasm begins to wane.   And Just like that old habits creep back in.   Six months later we find ourselves in the exact same place we were back on January 1st.     If this is a familiar story, I have an alternative approach for you to put into practice.    Your Family Enrichment Coach,   Jim White
