Make It A Happy New Year

Yes, this will be the promised “part two of that resolution-making process,” which started yesterday. But first of all, a very Happy New Year to you. And no, the title isn’t a mis-type…to a certain extent at least, each of us is able to control how happy the year will be on a personal level by choosing paths that lead to happiness, and opting, where possible to dwell on the thoughts most likely to create that mood.

But enough of such idealism…It may not be blending well with the “morning after” feeling. On to the next stage of the resolution making process.

Yesterday, we talked about what you’d like to be feeling, doing, and experiencing on December 31st that’s different from today. Keep that thought and feeling in mind on a daily basis especially before sleep. But in addition, your task today is to set out the milestones on the path towards that feeling.

Please also think about how you’ll want to think, feel and experience things differently:

-Halfway through the year (ie June 30th/July 1st)
-Halfway between that date and the December 31st target(ie around 30th September/October 1st)
-By March 31st

In this way, you’ve now divided your journey towards the resolution into more manageable chunks…(But remember, you can also subdivide those chunks in the same way, if it helps).

Is this the end of the process? No. By the end of the week we’ll have covered a few more things you need to consider to come up with an attractive and “do-able” resolution.

But please remember, there’s no need to wait for the next blog to get started. Put your enthusiasm and motivation to work by spending time thinking and feeling the yourney towards success that you’ve just mapped out.

And if you’ve still time left over after all that, let yourself ponder this question:

Which is the one, smallest possible change can you make to your daily routine and habits that will support you as you move towards your desired 31st December outcome?

More on why that’s important in the next post.

Hope this helps
