As practicing spiritual life coach, I am often approached by clients who seek to fulfill important goals. Through my unique Art of Manifestation program, I am able to help them attain these goals when they create their wonderful New Year. Most of my clients wish to make lasting New Year’s resolutions stick. But how do they do it?
Right now, it’s an exciting time to create New Year’s resolutions, right? Maybe yours include taking time to exercise, engaging socially with friends, attending meetup groups, eating healthier, saving money, taking a vacation, managing stress, taking an art class, helping others or simply taking more time out for you! It can also be a confronting time when we think about our past, unfulfilled New Year’s resolutions. How do we keep these new resolutions from falling to the wayside? I’ve created an easy Top 5 Tips list for keeping your New Year’s resolutions right on track!
1. Be sure that you can commit.
Be honest with yourself. Is your resolution something that you truly want or does it just simply sound good on paper? Create resolutions that inspire you the most at this time. Don’t overwhelm yourself with too many commitments. Once those resolutions have come into being, you can create more – even before the year is up. It doesn’t have to be a New Year to keep creating a new life for you.
2. Keep your focus clear.
Morning visualizations will set you up perfectly for your day. Keep seeing yourself with the desired results that you want, reaping the benefits of your New Year’s resolutions. This will keep you on track and enable you to connect with the experience of fulfilling your resolution – and experiencing the results.
3. Keep a daily diary.
Implement your New Year’s resolutions into your daily or weekly plans. Schedule your resolutions into your day and write about them at the end of the day. This keeps them present and alive for you – and will help keep you on target!
4. Tell others.
We want others to see our best side and give them inspiration. We want to share stories of success, not failure. Telling others what you are up will keep you accountable to your word. So, when someone asks you how your new workout routine is going, you can easily reply by saying, “Great!”
5. Be determined.
Do not let anything take you off track. Do not let anyone – including you – talk you into allowing old habits to creep back in. It’s easy to go back to what is familiar to us, but that while what is familiar may provide comfort, it is not ultimately fulfilling. Remember, it takes a little time for your New Year’s resolutions to become what is the new familiar to you – and what is satisfying, too! Also, if you get off track, simply admit to it and get back on track. It really is that simple.
Creating and fulfilling your New Year’s resolutions doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. It simply takes some practice and a little effort. Before the new year is up, these resolutions will seem like second nature and you will not only reap the benefits of your New Year’s resolutions, but you will say “hello” to a new you and a new way of life!
