In this feature for the Daily Express, relationship and transformation expert Lorin Krenn shares practical insight on why most New Year’s resolutions fail — and what creates lasting change instead.
The article explores how realistic goal-setting, habit building, and focusing on one meaningful area of improvement can lead to more sustainable progress. Building on this, Lorin emphasizes that real transformation begins with identity rather than willpower alone. He explains that when goals align with how people see themselves, they are far more likely to maintain consistent action over time.
Lorin highlights that lasting success comes from shifting self-perception and believing oneself worthy of the desired outcome. According to him, once identity changes internally, behavior naturally follows — making it easier to commit to proven frameworks and stay emotionally invested in personal growth.
