Were you one of many who made a New Year’s Resolution?
Have you made them in the past?
If so, did you achieve what you set out to achieve?
If you did, could you have accomplished more?
THE SHORT &
SKINNY
When you have decided what and how you would like to
improve yourself, your life, or whatever your goals you have in mind - create a
floor not a ceiling.
What I mean by that is, do not create a stopping point.
Many times we set out to do things and find out that we could do so much more yet
we stop and praise ourselves because we accomplished what we set out to do.
Give yourself a floor, a goal you can achieve that is
obtainable. You certainly don’t want to fail before you even begin. Now, the
sky is the limit!
If you have more than one goal in mind, prioritize them from
short to long term and set some realistic dates you think are achievable for
you.
Write down your goals in a place you will see them every
day. Each day you look at them, tell yourself what you will do to accomplish
them and chose the most direct path that will get you to your goal. If you’re
unsure about a timeline or unsure of how to get there look at the end result
and use backward planning. See yourself there - now work backwards. What steps were
involved to make that happen?
FOCUS – FOCUS –
FOCUS!
Have a clear vision of exactly what you want. See your goal as a target, let go of
everything else and focus all your attention on your target. Choose the straightest
path using the least amount of energy (don’t bring a knife to a gun fight),
stick to that path and hit that target!
Energy is a funny thing; if you were a meat cutter you
wouldn’t go to work with a wooden spoon and expect to make any great accomplishments.
Focus the least amount of energy to make the greatest results, thus giving your
more time for other important things in your life.
Track yourself and your accomplishments. Give yourself
praise when you are progressing and getting closer to your goal.
Believe in
yourself, see yourself where you want to be and you will soon be there.
You are the GREATEST! You are the BEST at
what you do! You can! You will!
Now repeat that in the morning and every
night starting with
“I
AM”
Wishing you a successful and prosperous New Year!
Waco & Rikki
