The beginning of a fresh year is the perfect opportunity to do things differently. Everyone has had this promising time in their life to draw new plans for the New Year and start over, but ultimately, they tend to get overlooked or ignored. New year’s resolutions are great to create positive change in people’s lives. There are people that have stayed true to their new year’s resolution in order to stop bad habits and time wasting to boost productivity in their business and lifestyle. Apparently, researchers say, New Year's resolutions are unnecessary and ineffective - just a loss of hope. Some say 92% of new year’s resolutions fail. But this doesn’t mean keeping a new year’s resolution is useless. It’s just a demonstration that most of us don't take it seriously because we don't know how to successfully maintain a resolution. It just synonymous to setting goals. It’s really a simple task to set goals, but very few of us can persevere enough to achieve that goal. Thomas Edison stated that our greatest weakness is to give up. Therefore, the surest way to be successful is to always try one more time. In other words, people achieve their goals because they didn’t give up. Majority of us quit before even getting close to becoming successful.
Way forward.
In order to achieve anything big in life, you must start with the little things and be more intentional about it. And by proffering a solution, I’ve decided to break this solution down into fours ways to achieve every New year’s resolution.
Conceal your goals
You’re more likely to succeed if you begin to keep silent about your goals. According to research, it takes 65 days to form new habits. But you won’t get past 3 days If you tell someone about your resolution or new habit. For instance, if you tell your friends and family about your plans to quit a bad habit like alcohol. Although they are not meant to discourage you, their words can sometimes kill your zeal. Studies have shown that people who often talk about their goal, spend less time achieving it than the people who don’t talk.
Keeping your goals to yourself helps you prevent comments and remarks from other by giving you more time and energy to concentrate on acting, which is the most significant part of achieving your goals. Action. Action they say is louder than words. We can all agree that nothing will happen if there’s no action. Of course, we need encouraging words and motivational speeches as a starting point to achieve something. The words are also important, because they created the spark in the first place. No one takes action to do something if he had not been emotionally charged or inspired from within. New year’s resolutions are just that. Instead of debunking new year’s resolution, just improve on yourself – Simple.
Celebrate little victories
Keep It Small Achieving and celebrating little victories is a sure key to achieving greater goals. The most successful entrepreneur you see today were grateful for their little proceeds from their small business before it became bigger. It’s not about setting small goals; it’s about thinking big and acting small.
Self-Accountability
This is one the most vital skill you can learn in life to be self-reliant. You tend to be more accountable to yourself when your goals are bigger than you and it’s something that relates to your loved ones. For example, maybe you want to spend more time with your kids, travel the world with your spouse, or you want to gift your family a bigger house and so on. It must be something bigger than you. This as an exercise can boost your sense of self-accountability. New year’s resolution still proves to be one of the best ways to make changes and improve one’s life in general. And improves the capacity to set bigger goals in life.
