Resolving Resolutions
1. Don't leap into action: Think first about what it is you want to achieve. Think about ‘your why’. Once you’ve achieved your goal what are you going to get out of it
2. Don't set goals for the year: We might be better off just trying to set goals for just the next month, or the first quarter, or the first six months or whatever time you want.
3. Separate achievement and fulfilment: Aim for what's going to make your life better and then, set your goals based on that.
4 .Lower your expectations: Lowering your expectations rather than taking on too much , may lead to being happier and more fulfilled as the year progresses.
5. Think about what to lose: If you take something else on, what comes out? Think about what you're prepared to give up at the same time.
6. Focus on your strengths: You already have a lot of success, talents, skills, and great personal qualities. Which of those could you do more of?
7. Appreciate what you already have: What are you happy about in your life? What are you grateful for? What already brings you joy? What do you want to keep hold of?
8. Don’t share your goals: Conventional wisdom says sharing equals accountability . However, if you want to be successful do it for you, be confident in you. What you are doing is good enough.
9. Measure by inputs, not outputs: Try measuring success by what you want to put into the endeavour rather than by the results. This will be far more motivating and much less stressful.
10. Track according to motivation: If track what you've done, also consider what's left to go and switch between the two at the halfway point
