I ALWAYS ask myself during the last few days of a year if\u00a0 \u201cit is time to make changes\u201d.\u00a0 I always giggle at myself because, if you know me then you know I am ALWAYS making changes, but am I always making changes that \u201cis for a better me or changes that are for a more enhanced me!\u00a0 I find the key word here is <em><u>enhanced<\/u><\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>Listen, reality is, every New Year people make \u201cNew Year\u2019s Resolutions\u201d.\u00a0 People say I\u2019m going to lose 15 pounds\u2026 I\u2019m going to be happier\u2026. I\u2019m going to take a trip\u2026 or I\u2019m going to get a new job\u2026. Sound familiar? It should we have all done this.\u00a0 But here is the kicker\u2026. None of, us including me, will ever get any of these \u201cResolutions\u201d done unless we actually confront why we have not been successful at this \u201cresolution\u201d before and we take the time to make a plan and put it into effect.\u00a0 Few people understand WHY these resolutions don\u2019t work. The reason is simple: They\u2019re too\u00a0<em>broad<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>New Year\u2019s resolutions fail because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>They\u2019re unspecific<\/em>.\u00a0We say \u201cI want to get healthy this year\u201d but when faced with the birthday parties, the overtime, or the family vacations, that goal gets sets aside to birthday cake, fast food and midnight buffets.<\/li>\n<li><em>They\u2019re unrealistic<\/em>.\u00a0\u201cI want to work out at the gym 5x\/week.\u201d Is this even possible if you actually went to the gym once a month last year. Setting unrealistic goals is the fastest way to failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Failing at your resolutions has implications and those are bad bad bad. Failing means you start to not trust yourself.\u00a0 Think about that\u2026 If you have set the same resolutions for say the last 2 \u00a0years, and you never follow through, what makes you think it will be different this year?<\/p>\n<p>And yet every year, you set a resolution prefacing it with, \u201cOk, this year I\u2019m going to buckle down\u201d or \u201cOK this year, I\u2019m gonna get serious about ____ this time,\u201d \u00a0you kinda know that your not actually going to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Having a goal isn\u2019t enough you need a plan and a system.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Year\u2019s Resolution #1\u201d &#8211; <strong>I am going to be happier <\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I realize that I have let life \u201ctake over\u201d, I have allowed all the craziness of things I have no control over run my life and I have not taken any steps to really change things for the better.\u00a0 Not because I am a victim but because I have not decided to take the reins and instead have been playing catch up which gets me NO WHERE.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Every Morning I will look in the mirror and remind myself, I got this and smile at myself (even if I don\u2019t feel like it) because\u2026 I am worth it!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cForce yourself to smile and you\u2019ll soon stop frowning.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Everyday NO MATTER what is going on, whether I feel happy or sad I will take the time to do something for someone to show them life is good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A smile appears to have this strange, power.\u00a0 When you are smiling, it is very hard to be down or angry.\u00a0 Your mood usually changes immediately from yucky to I CAN DO THIS.\u00a0 Even when you find you have to force a smile, it does wonders\u2026\u00a0 Smiling changes the outlook of your day and it can changes someone else\u2019s too! I will keep a smile \u201cometer\u201d everyday to keep this goal in check!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>I will do something just for me every week. It does not matter if it is a scoop of ice cream, an hour to read a good book, or a phone call to my best friend just for shitz and giggles but I will do something.\u00a0 This will help remind me that I am deserving of being happy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Ok so I think you got the point here.\u00a0 Resolutions are great, but they are better if you have a plan! It can change your world for a better you and can push you to the next level of greatness!\u00a0 Take a few moments, allow yourself to be honest with you, be willing to take a chance to enhance and try it\u2026 you might be surprised!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peace, Love and Happiness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>p.s.
