New Year’s Resolution Helper
In order for resolutions to actually fit into your life and
become completed, they first need to become goals. Here are
some basic goal-setting guidelines to help you with your
resolutions.
Begin by setting up short and long term goals. Then devise a
means of accomplishing both and evaluating your progress along
the way towards completion. Because once you chart your
progress, you will be able to see the different levels or
stages needed to accomplish each step towards completing your
resolution; i.e. you’ll know what exactly you need to do to
complete your goal.
Then mark off minor accomplishment rewards along each step of
the way. For example, if you are trying to stop smoking, maybe
you’ll stop smoking in your car first, then your living room,
then your family room, etc. until you finally quit smoking
everywhere. So after quitting in each room, take a time out to
reward all your hard work. Invite a friend out to lunch.
Redecorate an old smoke filled room with fresh curtains and a
nice clean rug. This way your road to resolution success won’t
seem so long and like drudgery. Plus by enjoying each step of
the way, you are actually helping push yourself to your goal
completion with powerful, positive giant steps forward.
Tips to help with your goal setting are:
1) Research and Education – Learn all you can about the
resolution goals you want to make. Find out exactly what is
involved in reaching your goal so that you can set up a step-
by-step plan to reach them. For example, to lose weight, maybe
you need to schedule an appointment with your local physician
first to get a check up, than ask him or her help set you up
with a good exercise and diet program. And plan your program
accordingly, revising each month as needed.
2) Make your resolution goals manageable. Don’t bite off
more than you can chew. There’s always next year. So tackle
what’s the most important to you first.
3) Attitude is important in order to accomplish your goals.
Sure, everyone has a down time or so and things aren’t always
perfect. But if you need help with attitude, pick up self-help
books at the public library, or read articles on self-improvement
in this area, or reach out to your physician if you believe it
may be a mental or internal issue.
