Forget the hype about how nobody ever achieves their New Years Resolutions. Instead create New Years Resolutions that are like powerful magnets that draw you toward them. Over the next three posts, I’ll outline a plan to help you create inspiring goals and a map for reaching them.
Day One: Alignment
First step: Create space. Invest time this week to think about your present life and set goals that will bring you greater health, happiness and fulfillment. As part of your resolution-making process, decide how you will carve out space daily to accomplish your goals. Most of us can easily find the time in the wasted minutes we spend on unproductive activities like watching TV or surfing the internet. Some of us will need to get up a few minutes earlier or say no to joining another committee.
Next, consider your values. What is truly important to you–family, health, career, achievement, contribution, spiritual growth? When you are clear on what really matters, you’ll willingly invest your valuable time and energy pursuing meaningful goals that are congruent with your principles and values.
In the next post, I’ll talk about creating the “shiver-factor.” If you just can’t wait, you can download a PDF of Seven Steps to Magnetic Resolutions: http://www.amihungry.com/pdf/newsletter-12-07.pdf
