Focus on intentions. We are more successful when we look at an intention such as losing weight, or becoming fitter. We limit our success when we put limits, demands and musts into the equations– such as I must lose 50 pounds, I must save $5000, or I must find a new job. “Musts” create expectations that can lead to failures.
Set goals that are consistent with your values. For instance, if you decide that you want to enjoy more of life it would be inconsistent to take on 5 new massive projects at work. Those goals and values are not consistent. If you decide you want to change something, make sure that you get out of your own way so you can accomplish your desires.
Dream big and hope for movement. Dreamers are optimists who move toward goals– the key is moving towards… The key to success is to see the possibilities and to acknowledge all the steps you make towards your dreams in 2018.
Forget deprivation. Depriving yourself of anything creates more desire to move toward that item. Restrictions and punishment are not successful means for creating change and resolution. Instead of looking at restrictive diets or budgets, find ways to set goals that are realistic and attainable.
The most important key to successful resolutions is to break down the goal into little steps and reward your accomplishments along the way– if you do this, 2018 will be a healthier and happier year for you..
