RESOLUTIONS: Do They Work?

Good Morning Friends;

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family & friends.

As the New Year 2010 approaches, we look forward to new beginnings. With the new year comes the resolutions, things we want to change in our lives, places we want to go etc.
How many of us really see our resolutions manifest into reality. Some of the most common resolutions we make are: I’m going to lose weight, I’m going to get more exercise, I’m going to eat healthy, I’m going to quit smoking…and the list goes on.

Let me give you some food for thought!! What makes a resolution different than a goal? We’re taught to set goals for the things we want to accomplish in our lives. When we’re setting goals,there are some guide lines we need to follow to make sure we will meet our goals.

1. We need to be very clear on what we want.

2. We need to write it very clearly, in our own hand writing. If we use our non-dominant hand to write the goal, its becomes more focused to our sub-conscious mind & makes a bigger impact.

3. It must be written in the present tense, as if its already happened.

4. After the goal is written, take time to really visualize how it’s going to look when that goal is accomplished.

5. We need to feel the emotion & feeling, when that goal is accomplished.

6. A goal also needs to have a time line on it, how long it’s going to take us to achieve that goal.

These are just a few differences between resolution and goals that I”ve enjoyed thinking about. Goals can definately become a reality for us whereas resolutions usually get forgotten after the first 2 weeks or so. Life gets in the way if we don’t have things clearly defined with a time line.

Wishing all of you a very Happy & Successful 2010
Thanks for taking this time out of your day to spend with us!!
