Resolutions (Repeated)

It has been a few weeks into the new year, and it is time to assess your resolution(s). First, are you still keeping your resolution(s)? Are you still making the changes you wanted to make a few weeks ago?  Most people have failed to keep their New Year’s Resolutions as of this week. Change is hard. You have to be smart (one change at a time), and you have to be focused, not on the goal, but on the reason for the goal.

Next, do you have new changes that you want to make? Are you going to wait 351 days until next year? 

If you want to be successful, the answer to the last two questions is a resounding NO. If you want to be successful, you will make those changes today, not tomorrow, and not on New Year’s Day. Do not wait for New Year’s Resolutions, as most people have given up their resolutions, and make the change now.

What is your change going to be? 

Just Be Better

Stay Healthy, Stay Strong

Stick to the Plan

I hope you are enjoying the New Year.

Did you make any resolutions? If you did, take comfort in the fact that many are navigating the challenges of their New Year’s Resolutions. It is never easy to make change permanent, and permanence is the point of a New Year’s resolution. The key is to take incremental steps. Desmond Tutu, who I had the privilege to see speak, once said, “There is only one way to eat an elephant, one bite at a time.” The same goes for making changes permanent. You cannot do it all at once. You have to take small, continual steps. You have to be consistent. You have to be patient. You have to stick to the plan. (The better the planning, the more permanent the change)

Now is the time when self-doubt about this year’s change will creep into your mind. Find strength in the reason why you want to make this change and visualize what life will look like for you once this change is made. Stick to the Plan

Good luck.

Happy New Year.

Just Be Better.

Stay Healthy, Stay Strong.
