Complete Person blog team wishes our blog readers a happy and prosperous new year.
As usual it is time to make resolutions for the New Year. Before starting to prepare your resolutions this year it always good to have a reality check of resolutions from last year.
Gone are the days where people respected New Year’s resolutions. Now day’s New Year resolutions were made to show of something on the New Year day rather committing oneself to achieve them.
How many days did you committed yourself to achieve your resolution last year. If we can count the days on fingers that means you are not making New Year resolutions. Instead you’re making New Year wishes.
You may be setting silly, ridiculous, and even impossible resolutions. Then, you expect them to magically come true.
Changes won’t happen in one day. It takes effort and commitment to achieve a change. It is our unrealistic expectations that result in failure at New Year resolutions.
If our resolutions are destined to be forgotten by next month or next week. It is better not to waste our time in preparing New year resolutions.
The following checklist will help you in preparing New Year resolutions:
1. Set realistic resolutions that you can achieve in a year.
2. Don’t pick many resolutions. Having few realistic resolutions will motivate you to achieve them.
3. Don’t procrastinate. People like to make resolutions and then say, I’ll start that tomorrow.” Or next week. If you aren’t doing it today, you aren’t going to do it tomorrow.
4. Attempting a new goal without the proper knowledge is like going on an adventure without a map. You may eventually get there, but it’s going to be a long trip. So gather information before you set your resolution.
5. Don’t set your new year resolutions because some one else wants you to?
If they aren’t your goals, you will not be dedicated to them. Make sure you own them yourself.
6. Be prepared to fail. Many people fail at their resolutions because they are afraid to fail. Well, by choosing not to try, you have chosen to fail by default.
7. Resolutions are all about action. So just act on your resolution rather than talking on them.
8. And the last but not the least don’t quit before the game finishes. You can’t win a race if you stop before the finish line. It’s not always about time, but about reaching the destination.
Did you make resolutions this year?
If so, make sure that you have checked them against this list.
You might just change your life by sticking with your resolutions and goals for the New Year. Nothing is free in life. Resolutions cost time, money, and sacrifice. So just give a try.
