| | The big talk around this time of year is New Year's Resolutions, lately, i have been in several conversations where people have been discussing what their personal resolutions will be for 2009. When in those conversations I was extremely tempted to spout out a normal response, like lose weight, eat more healthy, save more money, etc. but instead I kept my mouth closed and considered whether or not I was going to make any resolutions.
The reason that I wouldn't make any resolutions is simple, i can't remember the ones i made last year. Can you remember your resolutions? If you can I am impressed because that isn't the norm. I am not the type of person that is really into doing things just to give myself a good feeling inside. I think it that when most people make resolutions they have little intention of keeping them.
However, there are plenty of things that I am hoping to accomplish in 2009 and several ways in which I am would like to better myself but I do not think that making spur of the moment resolutions is the way to go for me. This year I will set 5 goals for this the 2009 calender year, and 5 additional goals to be completed before 2014, wow 2014 is only 5 years away, that is crazy.
I believe that in order to accomplish any goal or any resolution, the person with the goal or resolution must be intentional. I think the number one reason that people usually don't come through with their resolutions is because they think that they can continue to make the same actions and produce different results. Just because you make a resolution or set a goal doesn't mean it is going to happen, it is good to have desire to change something but it takes more than that. If we want to accomplish our goals or resolutions we must change our mindset and our actions.
Lastly, the most important thing is we have to do is to make a plan to accomplish these goals and resolutions. One part of my plan for this year is, I will write my goals on my calender on the last day of each month in 2009, that way at least once a month i will be reminded of what I want to accomplish. You could also share your goals with someone is ask them to remind you of them periodically.
Do you have any good ideas or things that have helped you accomplish your goals or resolutions for the year? If so, leave some comments.
Much Love, the best is yet to come |
