By popular demand we are reprinting an edited version
of our annual New Years Resolution newsletter. We hope you enjoy it.
It's that time of year where many people begin to create
their list of New Years Resolutions. Many of us list the achievements
we want and promise ourselves to get done in the coming year. How many
of 2005’s resolutions did you achieve? Studies have shown that
the average person abandons his or her resolutions within 6 weeks. Who
wants to be average? Setting new years resolutions can actually be fun,
and you will greatly improve your chances of actually accomplishing
them if you follow the steps outlined below.
Set goals that have a clear point of accomplishment, so you will know
when they have been achieved. For example, set the goal of reaching
a weight of 158 pounds, as opposed to just losing weight. Another example
could be to set the goal of discovering and getting your ideal-income
position instead of just saying “I will leave my job.”
Make your own private personal resolutions to give YOU great pleasure
and supply YOU wonderful benefits. Do not set goals because you feel
you should or because someone else wants you to set them. Make sure
you know why you want to achieve your resolutions. It is vital that
you have clear purposes for completing your resolutions that provide
you strong personal rewards. For example you will need a clear reason
to drop to the 158-pound weight. You might target this weight to become
a better skier, a better tennis player, to increase your sexuality,
or to attract the right mate. If you do not have a real strong reason
for YOU to achieve your Resolutions, you will most likely lose interest
quickly and not achieve success, and feel quilty for doing so.
If you are not committed to achieving a goal, drop it. If a goal is
not worthy of your full commitment, it is not worth your bother. Dropping
a goal because you are not committed is not a failure or a cause to
be disappointed. It is a very practical and responsible thing to do.
You will release more energy and time to accomplish the more important
goals for which you ARE committed.
Group A includes goals that require you to improve and grow as
a person to achieve them. Some examples would be to gain trust and appreciation
for your efforts and services, to attain a weight level of 158 pounds,
to become the leader you have always wanted to be, or to discover and
get your ideal income position where you “Go to Play” every
day.
Group B includes goals that do not require you to improve or
grow as a person to achieve them. Some examples would be to complete
your tax returns, to paint your house, to get a new job, or to build
a personal web site.
.
Growing and improving as a person is not a self-help process. You will
need assistance. Get the best assistance you can find by connecting
with someone, who is trained, experienced, and dedicated to assisting
you to achieving success. You will want this person to be your partner,
to care enough about you to be objective, to keep you accountable, and
to assist you to accomplish your goals in Group A. By doing so, you
will be assured of achieving these goals. One of the best sources for
connecting with the right person to assist you to accomplish your goals
in Group A. is to find your ideal life coach.
Since you are not required to change or improve as a person to accomplish
these goals, you can have experts accomplish them for you, and they
will probably complete them better than you would. If one of your goals
is to have the house painted, consider hiring an expert house painter
to paint it for you. You would also want to hire a web designer to construct
your web site for you, rather than do it yourself.
Rejoice with someone who cares about you and who understands the importance
of each goal. Do so immediately when the goal has been completed. For
example, celebrate reaching 158 pounds with someone who understands
what it meant to you. Celebrate the painting of your house, even though
it was done by your expert house painter.
You will want to add new goals (resolutions) as you complete old ones,
or you will want to adjust the ones you have to meet new circumstances.
Why wait until the beginning of each year to plot and achieve your most
important achievements? Make goal settings and achievements a year round
successful and enjoyable process.
Have fun with your New Years Resolutions and enjoy the rewards of actually
achieving them.
We welcome your opinions and comments.
