There are plenty of non-psychological reasons why it might be hard to stick to your goals:
- Maybe you want to commit to six months of couples therapy to strengthen your marriage but your spouse is flaky about attending…
- Or maybe you want to restart your old photography hobby but you can’t afford new gear…
But for most of us — most of the time — the reasons we have trouble sticking to goals and commitments is psychological in the sense that it’s some combination of thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that derail us.
