New Years and Resolutions = Finding Motivation Within
Take one small step every day.
Assign yourself a very reasonable task for each day, with one day every week free, for catch-up or time off. It might be the same task every day: “When you notice you're getting anxious or irritated, STOP, DROP (your agenda), and BREATHE!" or "Get up ten minutes earlier to listen to a meditation audio.”
Or maybe you need to begin with something even more foundational: "Go to bed half an hour earlier every night."
Take it one day at a time.
One year equals 365 opportunities to get yourself back on track! Every day when you wake up, you'll need to re-commit yourself. Big changes are daunting. If change were easy, you'd already be doing it.
So focus on today, right now. You have a choice between love and something else -- fear, or being right, or indulging. Choose love. Then, repeat. Over and over again, all day long.
It's really hard, but it gets easier. You can do anything for an hour. From there, it isn't such a big stretch to go a whole afternoon. Before you know it, you've clocked a day, and then a week, of your new life.
