What is Self-Check?
Sounds like it could be another set of promises to make and not keep. As I have written before, maybe you already know that 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail, 80% of them failing by mid-February, and 64% of us making the same resolutions over and over again every year. Same 5 lbs. every year or whatever it may be for you.
On the one hand, that should make February, National Self-Check Month, a great time to check in on how we are doing. On the other hand, who are we kidding, given all the broken promises already made? Why wouldn’t self-check become just another set of those?
Those broken promises are expensive because there is something about not being able to count on ourselves that shapes our lives. For one thing, it is harder to leap beyond our comfort zones to reach for something new and amazing when we are not even sure we can count on ourselves to see things through.
So what is self-check? And how can it help? Let’s hear it from Joan Peckolick, who founded the non-profit, Self Chec:
