Chances are that at some time in your life you have made a New Year’s resolution – then broken it. This year programme your mind for success by following these simple but effective tips.
Think Realistic – the quickest way to fall short of your goal is to make your goal unattainable. Be kinder to yourself and still succeed. Instead of ‘I’m going to be a size 10’ say ‘I’ll reach a healthy weight for my height’ rather than ‘I’ll go to the gym everyday after work’ opt to walk for 20 minutes at lunchtime, its much easier to start with something achievable and build up.
Think Successful- keep track of each small success you make toward reaching your larger goal. Short-term goals are easier to keep and every small success you experience will help keep you motivated.
To achieve a new goal we have to be able to see it inside our minds first. If you imagine your goal often enough it will eventually become your reality.
Think Positive – when someone uses the word ‘try’, they already have a mental picture of something not succeeding, whereas when they use the word ‘will’, they have a picture in their mind of what success will look like, and be determined to take steps to achieve their goal.
When you say the following out loud notice the mental images that come to mind…
I am going to try to keep my New Years resolution this year.
I will keep my New Years resolution this year!
General consensus is that it takes 21 days for a new activity to become a habit, and 6 months for it to become part of your personality, so remember that in order to reach the goals you have set for yourself, Think Positive, Think Realistic, Think Successful!
