Keeping
Your Resolutions
You
took the time to make them, why not benefiting from them.
If
it was easy then anyone would keep their resolutions. What is easy to do it is
even easier not to do. If you are sick and tired of making resolutions and not
being able to keep them, you are not different than 95% of the people that quit on their resolutions. Be in the 5% that makes them and
keeps them. Here are a few thoughts to help you.
1.
Program your elephant. Create crystal clear mental pictures of the results you
want into your subconscious mind. Run the pictures over and over until they are
firmly lodged in your mind.
2.
Tap into your willpower. Focus on the rewards. Keep the pictures in front of
you.
3.
Tackle one resolution at a time. Break each one into small doable steps. Reward
yourself for being consistent at first, then for making progress and securing
small gains.
4.
Don’t give up.
Resist to temptations to revert to your old self. You will regret giving up.
5.
Change requires commitment. Be honest with yourself. Don’t be self-deceived.
6.
No pain, no gain. Expect ups and downs. Leverage your emotions. Make them your allies.
7.
Be open for learning. Have fun. Learning and growing into a new self is
fun.
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.
