How to Keep New Year’s Resolutions
Sticking to New Year’s resolutions is hard for everyone. That’s why I made a system that will help you implement change in a lasting way and ensure you keep your New Year goals this year and every year to come!
Because we’re more likely to break our New Year’s resolutions by February than keep them for the year, this episode is dedicated to a fail-safe plan for resolutions that aren’t some short-term whim, but a real long-lasting habit.
As you know, I’m all about systems and whether you make resolutions or not, this episode will provide you with incredibly useful tips on developing a system to help implement whatever change you’re looking to make in 2020 (and beyond). You can apply these tips not just to your health and cooking resolutions, but to any personal goal you have for the year ahead.
Plus, I always like to start off the new year by reflecting on the past year, so you’ll also get to hear some of my favorite things about 2019 and all my hopes for 2020 (I have many but also a plan to make sure these hopes turn into reality!).
After this episode, you’ll know:
- Why most people don’t keep their resolutions and how you can be different
- The first thing you need to do before making a New Year’s resolution
- How to approach life changes like a consultant
Cheers to your progress in 2020!

Love from our podcast community:
“I have wanted to join Cook Smarts for some time now and after listening to the podcast, I am convinced that this is the next step for me and my cooking life. I love the advice about not just cooking, but planning, organizing, and being a good provider. I really appreciate how Jess tells me that I am doing a great job by providing my family home-cooked meals and even used her words to my son the other night: ‘I provided you with good, healthy food. Now it is your choice whether or not to eat it.’ I have needed to hear that and say it for a long time!! Thanks!!”
