subject: Here's 7 Killer Ways To Keep Your 2011 New Years' Resolutions [print this page] New Years Resolutions are amazing things.
They have 100% good intentions (stop smoking, lose weight, deal with stress, make money - make millions, win the lottery, find romance, fall in love, go on a dream holiday, get out of the rat race etc), 25% actual commitment and 1% results.
By mid January 95% of people will have broken their own sacred promises and will not only stay where they were, but they will feel lousy for the next 12 months because they didn't get the results promised to themselves.
Here's 7 Killer Ways To Keep Your New Years' Resolutions...
1) Buddy Up.
Get someone who will hold you 100% accountable, whether it is a coach, mentor or friend. Someone who has done it before is best but someone who is willing to go the distance learning alongside you is cool too. Be prepared to pay for a professional to help you in this. Think about the fee you would pay if the resolution could be taken in a pill form. Exactly so invest in yourself.
2) Set Wild Incredible Targets With Tangible Goals.
Reach for the stars and land on the moon. Keep the objective as gloriously fantastic as you can, but set realistic road maps that you need to reach to get you along the journey. You don't need to be able to run a marathon, just put one foot in front of the other AND REPEAT.
3) Remember It's A Journey.
The end result isn't the point. It's always about learning how you got there. No success story is interesting unless there was a real adventure along the way. That adventure has to have tragedy, loss and failure otherwise it isn't interesting or inspiring.
4) Take It Easy On Yourself.
Push yourself out of your comfort zone, but also remember never reprimand yourself too much either. The voices in your head are generated by your subconscious mind and are actually meant to help you. So ask them to. Seriously. Talk back to them, ask better questions and make thise changes.
5) Make It Fun.
Enjoy it. Otherwise you will hate it. Which would you prefer.
6) Cheat.
Who said you couldn't. A voyage of discovery doesn't have to take a lifetime. If you can find the answers from someone else or Google it, do so. Life is too short and you are not at school anymore.
7) Spread The Word.
Hold yourself to be publicly accountable. As others ask about it and declare your intentions to anyone who will listen. If you stop following your path, they will mention it and form opinions about you due to the level of success you have achieved. Or not if that's the case.
At The Life Designers, we will do all the above and guarantee your success. Let us help you make that difference in 2011.
