Had a fantastic 2007? Feeling in the 2008? Have set goals and plans for 2008? Failed at the same goals last year? Read on…
Many set goals and priorities they’d like to accommodate - be it to loose weight, quit smoking, be more charming, etc. Personal observation suggests that people fail at these goals and get back on their ‘track’ a few months into the new routine. Not only does this behavior loosen up ones confidence, it makes the person venerable to falling behind (Eating more and going to the gym), abusive practices (Smoking more and enjoying it less) or simply giving up on the goal/resolution.
I’ve worked on some resolutions… with mixed results. From successful trials, here are some lessons learned with examples.
- Loose weight - Goal: 10 LB
- Rather then telling my self to work out unti I lost 10 LB, I exercised 3 times a week for 30 minutes. In about 2 months, I had come down to the desired weight level
- Be more charming - Goal: Not annoy people
- Rather then coming up with Jokes to tell amongst a group, Don’t talk when you’re not asked to. Let others assume you are intelligent by your silence, then by removing all doubts by opening up your mouth. Don’t criticize people when you’re new to the company.
- Quit Smoking - Goal: Stop smoking
- Rather then going Cold Turkey, or by going onto alternative nicotine treatment, follow this - it worked for my friend. Start by preparing your mind for a smoke free life. Imagine what you will do with your self with the daily excess of 60 minutes. What will you do between not getting smoke breaks. What will you do when you’ll suddenly have an urge to smoke.
- Cut down to 1 cigarette a day. Treat your self to that 1 Cigarette - be it at 8AM with your coffee or with your 4PM coffee. Do not smoke more then 1 Cigarette per day
- Continue this routine for weeks until you no longer have an urge to smoke 1 Cigarette a day but you smoke it just because you’ve cleansed your self to do so
- Try to not smoke that 1 Cigarette a day and also keep away from all smoking habit
I hope this year will bring joy and prosperity to everyone. Good luck and best wishes.
