New Year's Resolution - Article by Michael Dylan
|
Another
year is about to tick over, with a new one
waiting just over the horizon. Many people
will be thinking about how to make next
year better than this year and will probably
even make a new year's resolution or two.
They will be trying to change old
habits, create new ones, work harder,
find the "one", spend more time
with family, earn more money, quit smoking,
lose weight, and so many more aims that
will probably be forgotten about before
the first month is over.
The new year is a great time to review your
past and plan for your future, but for any
real change to occur there has to be a long
term commitment. It is all good and well
to write down a little wish list and get
excited over it for a few days or a few
weeks, but that's the easy part. It takes
maybe 20 minutes of commitment to come up
with a list of goals and ambitions for the
next year. It takes a lot longer to achieve
them, particularly if it is a lifelong habit
you plan to change or improve.
Although twenty minutes is probably longer
than many people spend reviewing their life
and thinking about the future, it is not
enough if you really want to become all
that you can be. Unless you are a highly
motivated and ambitious person that naturally
jumps from success to success, you will
have to continually review your position
throughout the year. One big exciting change
usually isn't enough to change our behaviors
that we have taught ourselves over a period
of many years. Just as we developed our
current way of thinking over a long period
of time, we have to develop our new way
of thinking (to achieve the goals) over
a long period of time also.
If you are truly committed to achieving
your new year's resolution you will forget
about calling it a new years resolution!
It needs to be a constant living resolution
that you are committed to achieving. This
living resolution does not fade after January
finishes, because it is alive and takes
much more than a yearly review to survive.
Your living resolution must be reviewed,
tested, and measured at least monthly or
preferably weekly. Without continual adjustment
and maintenance we just slip into the habits
that we know and are comfortable with. Creating
something new in our life will take effort
and positive action on our part. Most people
will fall off the horse along the way as
it seems to be human nature to fall off
the horse! We have to continually get back
on the horse and continue on our way towards
achieving what we set out to achieve.
Be unusual this year and make your new year's
resolution a living resolution that remains
a part of your life for longer than January.
