“Sure win” New Year Resolution

Each New Year passes by and so our New Year resolution as well. Do you wonder why your resolution at the beginning of the year gradually loses its momentum with the passing months? Do you need some ‘’sure win’’ strategies to make things happen in your favour for your growth? I suggest some of my strategies which I follow for years which work like a charm. Feel free to follow these simple procedures if you plan to have certain goal for your Health & Wellbeing or any other goals in other areas of the life.

Be kind to yourself: Set a goal which is realistic based on your available resources. After all, you have only 365 days in a year. If you plan to lose weight then it is ideal to target for 10% drop in weight in comparison to an unrealistic 40% drop. Each one of us has infinity power and anything is possible if we really progress our goals mindfully. Your goal should neither be easy nor difficult.

Out of Comfort Zone: Whenever you set a goal, be prepared to come out of the comfort zone. Brain works in the least resistant path. Any new change drives you out of your comfort zone and it is not an easy for the brain to handle the change at the earlier stage. Mind throws “stories and excuses” for you to buy those so that you continue to stay in the comfort zone. You need to make a conscious decision to overcome the stories given by the mind. Remember that your growth is in direct proportion to the extend you move away from your comfort zone. If you go by your old habits, doing the same things in life and meeting the same kind of people but expect a different result then it is an utter ignorance from your part. So, break this pattern to achieve your goal.

Create the right ambience:  We, human being are influenced by the external circumstances. We become the victim of circumstances when we don’t know how to manage the circumstances. So, it is important to design a suitable ambience for your resolution to nurture. If your ambience is setup to have a negative influence then you encounter a setback. For example, you may want to lose weight but if you have an ambience without the right kind of people, workouts plan and the equipment’s then you won’t progress very well on your goal. The ambience has to be carefully designed to have a positive influence on your goal.

Role Model: Pick the right role model who already exceled in the field where your goal is targeted. This person has already seen the ups and downs, used all the trials and errors to achieve the goal. Simply, model his pattern and you will become successful. The best strategy is to paste his picture in some easily noticeable areas such as your desktop screen, mirror and your workplace so that he becomes a source of energy for you to achieve your goal.

Coach/Mentor:  Be prepared to travel in the new path the moment you set your new resolution /goal. The fact is that you have not travelled often in this path. The surprise elements and disappointment pull you back to the point where you started. You need education, motivation and clarity to move towards your goal. So, wisely get a right mentor/coach to take you safely in the path less travelled by you.

Try the above strategies and let me know how you have progressed in achieving the desired result that you deserve.
