Giving up on New Year’s Resolutions, like any life goal, is easy. 17% of
people give up before the end of January!! Just like Christmas presents,
it’s the thought that counts. Or is it?
With a few simple steps you could be one of the few that make it through
the year with your resolutions intact.
*Ambition* – just like a house, your goal must have strong foundations.
Your goal has to be big enough for you to care about, big enough to scare
you a little and big enough to excite you a lot. Ideally it should fit into
your longer term life plan, your dream life. You want to learn Spanish
because you wish you had tried harder in school? It won’t happen. You want
to learn because your dream is to retire to Spain in fifteen years’ time?
That fits! A resolution is for life not just for Christmas.
*Belief *– if you don’t believe in the goal don’t bother even making it.
Only half of people making a New Year’s Resolution are confident of success
when they make it. Would you sacrifice half an hour a day of watching soap
operas or playing X-box to make this happen? No? This is not the resolution
you are looking for.
*Clarity* – be absolutely clear, crystal clear, of what you are aiming for.
I’m going to lose weight/get fit is consistently the number 1 resolution
but what does it actually mean to you. What does it actually feel like to
you? You can lose weight easily by amputating a leg but I’m pretty
confident that it won’t be the result you were chasing. I will lose x
pounds and fit into size y jeans? I will be able to run this many miles in
that many minutes? That is more like it
*Division* – How do you eat an elephant? One mouthful at a time. I
completed my first marathon last year. How did I do it? I started a few
years back and built up from not being able to run 2 miles, through 3miles,
6 miles, 10 and 15 mile runs and even then, on the day I could only do it
one step at a time. Just like school or martial arts or computer games we
move upwards through the grades, belts and levels. Split your goal up. If
(for the sake of easy maths) your resolution is to lose 24 pounds then you
target two a month. Ticking off your progress, your success, will keep you
on the straight and narrow. Think hard about the steps you need to take.
What can you do today to move this goal along?
*Expression* - the simple act of writing your goal down will improve your
chances of completing it. Write it down, put it on your fridge, pin it up
on your desk, make it a status update on Facebook, photograph it and make
it the lock screen image on your phone. Do all of these things. Tell your
friends and your family about it. The more you remind yourself of the
resolution the more sticky it becomes in your mind. The more people that
know about it the less likely you are to let it fade. Be public, be
accountable to your goals.
Have a great 2015. You can make it happen.
