Making
New Resolutions Stick
Here
are a few thoughts as you sit down to make your new year’s resolutions:
1.
Find the good in what has happened for you so far. Count your blessings from your past.
2.
Let go of things you can’t control. Free your mind of what is holding you back.
3.
It is the time to take the chance in doing something
that really matters. Think “this is my chance” and go for it.
4.
Realize every challenge is a necessary step towards a
better destination. Just down your
goals in a SMART format. Example: Lose weight: weigh 175 lbs by June 30, 2015.
5.
Keep going and believe in the power of compounding
small increments. Understand that little
results are visible in the beginning.
6.
Expect resistance as you get started. New habits are hard to form and easy to break. Stay
consistent.
7.
There will be smiles and tears. Learn to live with ambiguity and frustration; all
champions have lived through peaks and valleys.
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Please pass them on to
others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
