New Year’s Resolution
At this time each year, millions of people on earth make their New Years Resolution. Some fail miserably and swear not to attempt making these resolutions ever again. But some achieves them, and some achieve only half of what they set out to do.
I made mine last year and posted it on a forum. When I went to look at it this week, I was surprise to see that I’ve accomplished about 60% of it. It felt good!
Acknowledging Your Accomplishments – Big or Small
Now I am thinking – what did I do differently that resulted in me accomplishing some of these resolutions?
Sure I did not accomplish all the things I wanted done, but hey, an improvement is worth acknowledging. I have to pat myself on the back because I know no one will. Giving yourself credit when it’s due will motivate you to do more. To keep the pace, to go further, to give it your absolute best.
Midyear last year, I realized that getting big things done requires the accomplishment of the smaller things. Big plan requires small projects. So breaking your big plans into smaller projects will make it easier to accomplish them. These smaller projects when done can boast your confidence to keep going.
New Year’s Resolution or Vision Board?
Writing your resolutions on a piece of paper or on a page is part and parcel of the “resolution” action. Your mind deciding to do certain things, and the body motion of writing it down is an act of agreement between the body and the mind making that resolution more solid and firm.
So whether you call it “vision board”, “New Year’s Resolution” or “Action Plan” it must be written.
My resolution for 2009.
1. Continue growing my social network, helping and connecting with my social community.
2. Improve my sites and make it more profitable.
3. Become better at doing the things I do by planning and relentlessly following it through.
4. Continue eating healthy, walking or exercising daily and regularly meeting people offline. I mostly work online, and I find it refreshing to meet people offline on a regular basis.
5. Start something awesome to help people in need around the world…
Have you written yours?
