TECHNIQUES TO SUPPORT YOUR PERSONAL RESOLUTION
"New Year's Resolutions" do not have to
be a drudgery or even an exercise to guilt induction. Rather, consider
resolutions as a simple and positive opportunity to create a list of priorities.
Specifically, your list should focus on your goals that are based from
a positive place to implement realistic methods to make that brass ring
a truly obtainable goal:
• Identify milestones that will help you reach your
ultimate goal.
• Identify your strengths and weaknesses. Recognizing your behavior patterns
will allow
you to improve overall performance and productivity.
• Develop a checklist to help you accomplish one
task at a time. This will help you gain
additional control over your goals.
• Keep
a journal to write down the positive steps you have taken toward
your objectives.
• Be fearless: identify what must change in your
lifestyle, attitudes or belief systems.
• Consider alternative perspectives that may help you overcome perceived
obstacles.
• Follow through with your goals even when you feel
discouraged. It takes effort and
commitment to fulfill your desires.
• Create a support network that will provide encouragement.
• Seek help when you need it. Therapy can ease common
sources of stress, including
family problems, heavy workloads, and feelings of depression. To
