New Years Resolutions: Sandcastles On The Beach
Now what makes this guy? New Year's resolutions, and the sandy beach castleson?
Now what is this guy on the subject? New Year's Resolutions castleson the beach sand?
Bear with me.
It is approaching that time of year ... When we decide we are not satisfied with where we are in life, or we're all fired for being the next great [insert whatever you want here], or we want to break a bad habit. Nowwe and start making plans for the new year.
Ok ... Can I ask you a question?
How many of your New Year's resolutions last year, have been achieved?
I think I know the answer.
A few years ago I did a little experiment to test the new year resolutionswere like building sand castles on the beach. Earlier this year Icasually discussed with family members and friends said the conversationcame around New Year's resolutions. I made a point to get the resolutionsthat have been established for the year. I was not going to lose weight, quit smoking, Megabucks business, blah, blah.
Once I had the opportunity, I say the name of the person and his newyears resolution. I kept these notes by hand.
Around April or May, I made a point of speaking with the same people, I newyears resolutions. Of course, the resolutions were, and ...
I asked how things were going with new year's resolutions.
Honest to goodness, I can not remember a person who was still on track resolutions withthe
Interestingly, a few years ago, I heard something interesting on the radio. Amathematical psychologist had determined with a mathematical formula that May 18 was the "best day to set goals for the year." Would not you like to seethat formula? I'm sure it would.
If the configuration of a new year's resolution is like building a sandcastle on the beach, does that mean I should not plan for something better in life?
No, no, no
Set goals real. Goals that are working towards and achieve
Here are 3 tips for setting realistic goals ...
* Clearly identify your target. In this way, think what you want to achieve this goal. This becomes a powerful motivation to maintain the success Ontrack.
* Consider the potential obstacles you might face their own path to the goal. And to think of the potential obstacles ahead, it can give you ideas for solutions - so you get better, if you encounter obstacles.
* Intervene. No matter how small the step it takes. Take the first step, andmove forward. Success
No reason you can not set your goals at the beginning of the year, but let the objectives pleasedon't be like sand castles on the beach.
So why do I say that New Year's resolutions is like building sandcastles on the beach? No matter how big the sand castle, we know that the tide will come and wash our castle. Not that what we do with new year's resolutions? We know very well that do not adhere to it, however, every year.
If you set New Year's resolutions as a funny thing, do not worry. If you really want something more from life, re-set resolutions - I think rather ofsetting true goals.
Have a great year
