The session explored the art and science of setting resolutions that stick, drawing on research about willpower and brain science. Participants reflected on the past year and discovered how to set authentic intentions for the future, learning to create goals that energize and focus them for personal and business success.

Builds: Willpower, accountability, optimism, better health outcomes, self-compassion, focus, and success.

Insights:
Set intentions instead of making resolutions.

Stay humble. There is a lot of information coming at you all the time so your mind must be selective about what it observes/remembers.

There are 4 things that impact what it recalls:
1. The sound of your name being called out.
2. Anything that threatens your safety.
3. Romantic interests.
4. Whatever you tell your brain is important to you.

Willpower is the ability to do what matters to you. It works best when you are well-reseted.
If you don't want to do something, rephrase from I WON'T to I WILL...
The most powerful form of willpower is I WANT...
"When you know what's important, you know what's not important."

Make a list: What do you WANT for yourself and for you business?
State those intentions in a direct, simple and positive way.  
On each point written, say HOW it coming true will make you feel and HOW it will allow you to better contribute to the world.

Review your intentions in mid-Dec of the following year to determine their status.
Patience is key to running a successful business.
