Every year we set out to make positive change in our own
lives by declaring our “resolutions”. You may be the exception, one of the minuscule
percentiles who have never defaulted on a resolution but chances are…you fall
into the category with the rest of us, who begin to fall off by the end of
January. To help our friends this year, we have put together some “keys” to
keep your resolution all year long, and then some!
Key #1: Keep it
simple. Don’t overwhelm yourself with a list of 25 different goals. We suggest no more than 3 resolutions…this
might sounds crazy but 3 resolutions means 3 life changes to put into practice
for the next 365 days, which equals at least 1,095 intentional decisions that
you did not make last year…not so simple anymore, huh?
Key #2: Don’t try to
do it alone. We all need a little help from our friends now and then,
especially when we want to make positive differences in our lives. Let your
social media friends know, or if you like to be more low key, let your inner
circle know so they can help to hold you accountable and help keep you moving
in the right direction. No lone ranger can travel the path to sustainable habit
change!
Key #3: Be your best
ally, not your greatest foe. You’ve heard it said, “We are our own worst
critics”; personal reflection often leads to harsh criticism of ourselves but remember:
this is not about perfection, it is about
growth. If and when you mess up,
don’t throw the baby out with the bath water; each day and every moment is a
chance to begin again.
And remember, if your resolution includes owning keys to
your new home, we are always here to help. Happy New Year!
