Regarding Resolutions

I found these two lists that have suggestions to help you actually make good on your New Year’s resolutions.

Yes, I do know this is the end of March!  But I am still working on my resolutions.

1. Pick one resolution, or one more than you completed last year. Your odds of staying focused improve.
2. Look at last years list and evaluate where you failed. Too ambitious? Where did you give up? Use this self-knowledge to inform this year’s resolutions.
3. Break any resolution into monthly goals so you have short term focus.
4. Find a friend who can sign up to the same goal. We are social creatures, and our goals should be social.
5. Write down the resolution and sign it. Writing has power.
6. Put your written resolution somewhere useful (e.g. in front of the fridge)
7. Have a daily positive task – mark off a day on a calendar every day you’ve met your resolution. You get a positive visual reminder you’re on your way.
8. Divide further: simply make a resolution for January, and re-evaluate on Feb 1st.

1.  go beyond superficial and connect to core values

2.  be specific

3. have 0r get support

4. focus on one at a time

How are you doing with your New Year’s resolutions?
