We are already into the critical part of the new year! I
mean this with respect to the New year resolutions…what was a glossy poster of
larger-than-life image of our self that
we envisioned just last week would have started peeling off the wall right this
week! Before you start cursing me for speaking so pessimistically … I will jump right into what we got to do with
our new resolutions…
Here is my 3-step approach to make New year resolution to stick:
Step 1: What do you
want to do in the New year? …
As an example , here goes the classic ..”I want to slim out
this new year” …no worry about this step
we are all excellent at this!
Step 2: Why do you
want to do Step 1?
What is the bigger purpose ? For the weight loss example ,
your purpose should not be that “I want to impress my neighbor”…your resolution
is not going to last because the neighbor may change homes! It should be an
ideal that you want yourself to live up to...such as “Healthy life” , "Disease free life" , "Refreshing day" ....
Step 3: What will I do Today towards my goal?
This is the killer of New year goals….Life is what happens
to us today as we are busy planning for tomorrow…we are all busy everyday,
making plans for tomorrow ,without taking any action today! Start off right now…For
the weight loss example above, just go out right now and starting walking even
it is for 5 minutes!
That’s all is required to take your New year goals to the
next week!
