A
Resolution Method That Works
by Nisandeh Neta
At the end of
each year, it is traditional to make a New Year's Resolution. With such "agreements", we
commit ourselves to resolving
personal issues, yet more often than not, fail to keep these commitments. The concept in itself is a good one: to make an assessment of our lives,
to contemplate what we wish to modify during the following twelve months,
and then making a commitment to that change.
What therefore,
can we do to enhance the probability of successful attainment of our
resolutions? Although it seems a complex and mystifying issue, 'consciously creating'
involves simple tools and techniques that do not require your belief or
understanding in order for them to work for you. The following are
a few of the main points you need to remember in order to manifest
successfully, what your heart desires:
-
Commit
your resolutions to paper.
Contemplation, in itself is not enough.
-
Keep
your list short.
A list of 10 resolutions is big enough to create a 'critical mass' of
energy through which to 'get your message across' and is short enough
to be remembered and therefore practical.
-
Keep
your resolutions simple, clear and detailed.
Instead of "I make a lot of money" use "I earn xxx
during 2001"
-
Create
a clear picture of your resolutions in present time as if they were
already realized.
Involve all your senses in this picture (see it, smell it, touch
it,...)
Bring to the picture positive emotions such as excitement, joy and
fun.
-
Repeat
the thought and visualization process of your resolutions twice a day.
It takes about 20-25 minutes a day, and is worth the investment of
time.
-
Communicate
your resolutions to others.
In this way you strengthen your commitment, creating for yourself a
support group.
-
Make
a step every day towards realizing your resolutions, no matter how
small.
This step can even be of a mental nature.
However, a daily step towards each resolution is going to make
realization faster than you can imagine.
-
Acknowledge
yourself for any step you complete on the way to realizing your
resolution.
-
When
one of your resolutions is realized ensure that you celebrate the
personal success and treat yourself.
-
After
realizing any of your resolutions, cross it off your list and replace
it with another.
Maintain your list of 10 resolutions, throughout the year, thus
keeping them alive.
REMEMBER: a fish
is born to swim, a bird is born to fly and a human being is born to
create...
