With these 4 tips you'll have a clear and simple way to set your 2007 New Years Resolutions. And you might just find yourself with far more optimism and expectation for better results than ever before.
New Years Resolutions Tip 1
Before you can say what your resolutions are we must first agree on just what do we really mean by a New Years Resolution.
For some it's a wish list, not much more.
But there are those of us, perhaps 3-10% of us, that have commitment.
A New Years Resolution is NOT something you want to achieve. There are too many of them to fit on a new years resolution list. What we really ought to mean by a New Years Resolution is something you want to achieve that you actually have strong emotional commitment to.
New Years Resolution Tip 2
What are your emotional reasons why?
Commitment comes from emotion. Without an emotional reason why you want something, it just isn't going to happen for you.
Take 'stop smoking' for example. Well sure it's better for your health, less risk of cancer, kissing is better, save money, etc. But if the emotional desire and benefits for smoking outweigh the emotionally felt benefits of not smoking, then you're not gonna stop.
So on a scale of 1-10, note down a score showing how much desire you honestly emotionally feel towards each resolution.
Measurement helps to make the commitment more real to the mind.
You're developing clarity. Here you can cross off the list any items that you want, but know that you won't really be committed too.
Answer these questions for each resolution:
What's your reward for success? What essentially is the point of the resolution, why do you desire it? What will it do for you, what will it give you that you don't have now? What's the emotional benefit to winning with it?
Write all this stuff down, and your commitment and ability to succeed will shoot through the roof.
Here's the 2 Not So Normal Tips
New Years Resolution Tip 3
Clarify and expand on each resolution exactly what success would be, what it would look like, what would exist in reality in your life, if the resolution was 100% complete to your satisfaction.
This takes some time. It's no good just to write up that list of 10 and file it somewhere.
We need to make it all vivid and real to our awareness. To make it clearly defined, so that we can SEE it, and darn near almost TASTE it. Sweet victory can only follow from good preparation.
You might write half a page or more describing the ideal scenario for each resolution.
So we have a vision for each resolution. How things would be with success. Some people have never done this kind of thing before, and it revolutionizes their successes almost automatically.
What's next?
New Years Resolutions Tip 4
What are the steps to achieve the resolution?
What are the actual basic physical activities you will need to take to get this thing done?
Is there a time frame on it? Are other people involved? Are there certain resources that you need to buy or somehow get? Is there a certain amount of time you would need to dedicate to achieve each resolution? What do you need to do first, what second, etc?
The bottom line here is that we're trying to nail down exactly what specifically needs to happen for each resolution to be a winner for us in 2007.
The 4 Tips for being organized with New Years Resolutions that we've covered are:
1. Write down what you want, 2. Know why you emotionally want it and the rewards so you actually are committed to it. 3. Then work out what it would actually be like. 4. Work out the steps to achieve it.
Take those 4 steps, jot them down, and use them when you come to make your 2007 New Years Resolutions.
