January 1st has arrived and you have probably
been contemplating what resolution you might want to attempt this year. Some of
the more popular goals people make are to lose weight, stop smoking, find a
better job, exercise, or make time to eat better. Whatever resolution you choose,
seeing yourself as you want to be is the key to personal growth in 2017.
Commitment
A study by the American Medical Association found that one
in five people will turn their New Year commitment into action. The rest will
have good intentions but stop working on their resolution in a few weeks.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from
now and make a brand new ending.” Carl Bard
First, reflect on this year’s experiences. What did you
learn from them? How did you apply this knowledge to create a better life for
yourself? Then contemplate what you envision for yourself in the New Year and
what steps you need to take to get there.
Persevere
This year give yourself the gift of love and acceptance. Believe
in yourself. You are not a quitter. You are a strong, capable and resilient
person. Persevere and you will attain your goal. The first step is to write
your goals and intentions down. Then read them aloud daily and to visualize
your success. You should talk to your
family and friends about the positive accomplishments that have occurred in
your life and be grateful for them. Take small steps to improve yourself by
enrolling in a class, read a book, or save money to take the trip that is on
your bucket list. Try to prioritize your family first this year and spend
quality time together. This will help you to understand each other more and
forgive the things that keep peace from entering your life. Being kind to one
another is more important than being right as you listen to the other person’s
perspective or idea. Finally, have more fun together and enjoy the journey of
possibilities that the New Year can bring to your life.
