Every year the 1st of January sees millions upon millions of people deciding on what their new year’s resolution is going to be! From giving up smoking to emptying your cupboards of junk food and kick starting that new healthy you that just cant wait to get into the gym! People have high hopes of achievement for the coming year…. So why is it then that by at least March of the New Year…Your either back smoking or eating junk food and the lucky gym you joined is still receiving your direct debit – but your nowhere to be seen?!!

Ok this is it….. 2010 is your year…. It’s time to show your friends and family you mean business and make a realistic new year’s resolution… and this time stick to it!!

The key word here is realistic. Being unrealistic with your resolution is where most people fall down – they aim beyond their means. It’s all well and good to have high hopes…. but they must be within your reach or ability for your life today. The secret is to start small and achieve that small first goal and then move onto your next bigger goal. You will find that you will feel great after achieving even the smallest step and it will then motivate you even more to continue on! If you want to get fit – then commit yourself to 2 days a week working out. Anymore than that you will end up pushing yourself to far and losing the momentum.

In order for you to get somewhere and achieve something you have to know where you’re going…. It’s very hard to get somewhere if you can’t see yourself in the future achieving it! Visualisation is a huge factor in achieving your goals, dreams and desires….. You have to see yourself doing, being and acting in the new way…. Picture yourself in the future, say in 6 months time…. See yourself still fulfilling and sticking to your New Years Resolution and imagine how great you feel?! Visualise and create the feelings of achievement and contentment you will have in the future having stuck to the resolution. How does it feel? Pretty good I bet!

And as its recession time – remember to keep a tight rain on your money! So if you do spend money on something worthwhile that will benefit you in the future and add value to your life; like joining a gym to get fit and loose weight or on hypnosis for stopping smoking… then make sure the money was worth spending and this year you stick to your decisions and be the go-getter you know you are! The most important thing of all is having self belief! You have to believe in yourself, because if you don’t – nobody else will either! Be committed and trust that you can and you will stick to your New Years Resolutions – make this year different!

Happy New Year!!

Love,
