Getting Serious About New Year’s Resolutions
Cats: New Year's|Getting Serious About New Year’s Resolutions
New Year’s resolutions are a way of telling yourself that there’s something you want to achieve. Determine why you’re making the resolutions in the first place, and create personal resolve to change the root cause.
1. Why are you making this resolution?
2. What are you willing to do differently that will make this resolution a reality?
Make the statements in the form of SPECIFIC personal actions and SPECIFIC personal achievements. The more specific you can make them, the more likely you are to make them happen.
Tell yourself EXACTLY what you intend to do.
Tell yourself EXACTLY what you will do, or are willing to do.
What are you willing to do?
What are you willing to change?
What are you willing to better?
What are you willing to sacrifice?
Are you willing to work harder?
Are you willing to get up earlier in order to give yourself more achievement time?
And what is it worth to you once it’s done?
