There are 3 main types of New Year's resolutions...
Firstly, there are at the last minute resolutions that are typically made whilst slightly drunk on December 31st. These are, inevitably, the ones that are broken a day or two into January, as they were not really meant in the first place.
The second type of resolutions are those which are made in good faith, with a clear mind, and which are thoroughly meant, but which are not appropriately planned for. These types of resolutions tend to last a few weeks, maybe even a few months, but that lack of preparation and planning soon catches up with you.
The only resolutions that have the potential to last a lifetime are those which we take the time to prepare and plan for. That preparation and planning, along with a real, significant benefit to be gained, are absolutely essential.
The question is then, into which category do the resolutions that you made last December fall within? Another would be, how successful have you been in sticking to them?
Whether you are still going strong with your resolutions, or whether you have broken them already (in which case you can get it right next time around), the following is worth taking note of...
A New Year's resolution is essentially a goal, and to achieve that goal you need to perform, and in order to perform you need to think both positive and smart. Those who think positive and smart tend to use systems, and the one set out here is perfect for New Year's resolutions...
1: Establish what exactly it is that you want to achieve. You can not do everything at once, so choose just one or two things to focus on.
2: Decide when you want it. To measure your progress, and to ensure that you are moving in the right direction, a realistic timescale, and accompanying milestones need to be in place.
3: List the pay value. Always keeping the benefits in mind is the best form of motivation.
4: Consider what you will lose. Know that for progress to be made, sacrifices will have to be made.
5: Prepare for probable obstacles. Any worthwhile goal will require you to overcome obstacles, so you need to know both what they are and how you will overcome them.
6: Create a plan of action. Without a plan you will soon find yourself deviating from your original intentions.
7: Know what is required on a daily basis. Your overall plan should be broken down into daily expectations, which you can review at the start of each day..
8: Never give up. Achieving is not easy, and there will be times when you want to give up, but you will never be successful if you do so. - 16890
