It’s the season for renewing our commitments, making new resolutions, setting new goals or reforming of a habit. The concept is to reflect upon self improvement annually.
The most popular New Year’s resolution
- Improve health: Loose weight, exercise more, eat better, quit smoking.
- Improve finances: Get out of debt, save money.
- Become more environmentally responsible: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
- Improve career: Get a better job, go back to school.
- Improve self: Become more organized, reduce stress, manage time, be more independent.
- Take a trip.
- Volunteer
- Improve education: Improve grades, learn something new, like a new language.
We all start with good intentions and high hopes. Why do we ignore our own self made promises in a short time after we made them? Why is so hard to maintain the new year’s resolutions or for that matter any other planned goals? Does anyone have any bright ideas? Be it for loosing those annoying 2o pounds that are dragging you down. If you are in sales, going the stretch to make the commission to buy that dream car, or that condo with the ocean view. Maybe, you just want to change jobs or start a new career….. Why don’t we follow through?
All too often our New Year’s resolution quickly becomes our delusion within a couple of months if not weeks. The question then becomes should we make resolutions and, if so, how do we stay focused to achieve them?
Happy New Year!
For me, I find that organization is the key. Having to many things that are a deterrent and keeping us for continuing what we started. Eliminating those things that are not working and replacing with a positive attitude and to stay focus for the duration.
