A recent study found that only eight percent of people actually end up achieving their new year's resolution here's a couple of tips and tricks on how to do just that. A long time ago there was a dying king with two sons. he loved each son equally was having an extremely hard time deciding who would rule the kingdom after he passed away so he decided to present a question to his two sons. If given the Kingdom what would you accomplish? The first son proudly said, "I would make the kingdom great, greater than it has ever been before the people will be happy and our kingdom will flourish. The second son calmly said, "Well the school systems don't work, I would hire more teachers and invest more of the tax money into the schools and libraries wanna make sure people are more educated and with his dying breath the king granted his second son the kingdom.
Tip number one is to, HAVE A PLAN, the dying king granted his kingdom to the second son because its second son had a plan no one has ever said all I'm going to be healthier this year and the next day woke up healthy. There has to be a plan, goals, and action that need to be taken. So instead of saying something like I'll healthily, you can say something like I'm going to go to the gym every other day this year. A few years ago when I was in college they always his one New Years where I was so pumped so excited about my New Year's resolution. I had just discovered the world of self-development and was motivated to finally get off and accomplish something with my life. I had about 10 different things planned for the New Years.
I was going to stop eating sugary foods. I was gonna practice dancing for 30 minutes a day, I was going to read a book a week, I was going to meditate twice a day. I was going to quit watching porn, I was going to go to all my classes, I was going to work on my side projects and a ton of other things too. I was so excited and for the first week, I actually managed to do it all. But as the weeks went on I completely forgot about some of these goals and eventually, when it was finally December again I had barely only accomplished one of my goals. Tip number two is to CHOOSE WISELY Don't choose too many resolutions. The majority of resolutions involve some sort of habit change and habit changes have a huge drain on your body's willpower. Things they quitting smoking and dieting usually required tons and tons of willpower. Think of it this way, willpower is like a battery that needs to be charged every night. When you have way too many resolutions the strain on this battery causes it to run out before you have a chance to charge it and then all hell breaks loose. You give yourself the ultimate cheat day and it's game over! So if you have way too many resolutions, ask yourself this, What are the top two or three things that I constantly find myself dreaming about these should be resolutions for the NewYear.
It's interesting how physical a contract can feel. When you have to pay the water bill electricity bills, the gas bill, it feels like there is a huge wall you have to confront at the end of every month even though it's not a tangible thing there is a sense of pressure and fear there. Especially when you're a couple of hundred behind and the deadline is a couple of days away. Tip Number Three is to write your resolutions down. This makes the resolution feel like a contract. It creates pressure for you to complete it. And to build on that for the past three years over I've written down every resolution on a sheet of paper, labeled it with my name, and put it right next to my computer for the entire year. Since it's they're all the time, I look at it quite often. And every time I look at it I feel a tremendous amount of pressure to make sure that I continue to keep my resolution. Tip Three And A Half: Keep your resolutions in a place that is visible or nearby. I used to always go around and tell my friends about the great things that I planned on doing. The things that I was going to do but haven't done yet and for some strange reason, it felt good. Tip number four: don't tell anyone about your New Years' resolution.
A recent study has found that people who talk about their intentions before accomplishing them, gained a false sense of completeness. When you talk about something that you have accomplished yet, you trick your brains into visualizing a scenario where you have accomplished it. This causes you to lose tons of motivation that you had beforehand. They say that it takes 21 days to either from a habit or break a habit. Luckily for you the first month of the New Year is literally the easiest time of the year to actually do something for 21 days straight. Everyone is extremely motivated to go out there and accomplish their New Year's resolution. They're all talking about the great things that they're going to go out there and do and nobody wants to be the first person to lose this race. Tip Number Five: Take advantage of the New Year's Rush.This is also the perfect time for you to find an accountability buddy. An accountability buddy is somebody who makes sure that you're going out there every single day and doing the things that you promised yourself that you would do. It'ssomebody who helps you keep yourself in line. At the same time, you help them keep themselves in lines too! Tip number six: is to find yourself an accountability buddy. It could be a friend or family member who's close to you. This is the one time we should be telling somebody about your goals because his or her sole purpose is to constantly nag you to accomplish those goals. No other time throughout the year is it easier to find someone who is as motivated as you are to go out there and make a change. Happy New Year!! Let's make this the year where you were you actually make a change
