How to Search Your Soul for Better New Year’s Resolutions
Failing to keep New Year’s Resolutions often has to do with how a person goes about choosing their resolutions. In fact, very often they’re chosen with no forethought whatsoever!
Here is a guide to choosing a New Year’s Resolution. It’s built around and approach of connecting to yourself so you’ll have a more compelling resolution – one that you are emotionally invested in. Which makes you more likely to see it through.
Step One
Be completely honest with yourself. Don’t rationalize. Be unbiased of your motives. Your personal truths will emerge and set you free to accomplish your noblest goals!
Step Two
Accept the people, places and things in your life as they are, not as you would have them. Think on this thought: “Whenever I am disturbed, there is something wrong with me!” This is though to do, but it will help you identify what is unsettling you. And very often, what you struggle to let go of makes for a wonderful and very worthy resolution!
Step Three
Consider this question: Is your character based on how good you look or how good you are? How can serving others embody the serving of your best interests? Thinking of ways to improve your character traits through service to others is very revealing and creates truly rewarding resolutions.
Step Four
Find what you’re great at! For some this comes easily. For others it can be really, really difficult. Don’t be shy, ask a friend or someone who is “safe.” Recognizing your unique and best talent, your passions, your creativity and taking steps to support and nurture it is very probably your key to a rich and happy life!
Step Five
Get excited! Accountability is so much easier and sustainable with enthusiasm. Even so, it’s not easy which is why we’ve created Resolution Velcro. Resolutions that capture our imagination, that resonate deeply are easier to achieve, and frankly, more worthy of your precious time.
