New Year Resolution

Introduction:

Just before the beginning or at the beginning of the new year, the tendency making new resolutions of people increases very much. Especially in the first few pages of the first month, new resolutions and their implementation in real life are written in the new diary. But after a few days, the diary remains in one place and the owner is in another place and there is no connection between the two for the whole year. How many of you would agree with me in this regard?

How many of you have made a resolution to improve your health at the beginning of the year, a resolution to kick out bad habits? How many have resolved to make themselves more productive? I think almost everyone has made some sort of resolution in the past!

Now tell me how many of you have made your resolutions perfectly or have been able to give them reality?

Why do we fail to fulfill new year's resolutions?

It is very essential to understand why at the beginning of the new year we start with a lot of enthusiasm by taking new resolutions, but after a few days we go back to the old track. Written commitments are remained in diaries, resolutions became dusty and faded from memory. We all know that we need changes in our lives and we want to change in our lives but how many of us know why we need to change and what will be. We want to be successful but we don't know what the definition of success is to us.

At the beginning of a new year we emphasize making new resolutions, so I explain with the word 'resolution'. The synonyms of resolution are determination, analysis and solutions (although there are many other synonyms, I have taken these three for this context).

Out of these we only accept the first word, the rest i.e. 'Analysis' and 'Solution' we leave out of context, and that bury our resolutions in the first month of the new year. It is fact that we take decisions but we do not analyze why we are taking these decisions! How beneficial it can be for us to fulfill this resolution! What challenges can come before us to fulfill this determination! If the determination is fulfilled, what personal evolution will develop within us! etc. If you don't have a clear picture of why you are doing something and what result will be at the end, your internal motivation can never be triggered. Naturally, after a while, you'll give up that work, whether it's your personal development or self-care.

Here I would intend to refer more to the second synonym of resolution i.e. 'solution', because we need not only to make a resolution but to find a way to resolve it, we have to have the resilience to deal with the obstacles that may arise on the way fulfillment of that resolution. If you just set the goal without strategy to reach there, is it possible to achieve it?

If we try to understand with the help of an example the matter becomes much simpler. Let's say that your new year's resolution for good health is to lose weight and you start exercising as usual. After a few days you realize that 'time' has become a big challenge for you. Will you be able to fulfill your determination! Never, you will never feel congruence. The timing problem was still there when you made the resolution on the first day of the new year but you didn't analyze it and find a solution.

How we can make 2023 more productive:

Making decision is not a problem. You may have taken thousands of such resolutions over the years but the real challenge is to implement them, to feel the inner motivation for them, so that you don't give up in the midway, you don't go back to the old track.

You will never know how and when 2023 will pass if you continue in the same way as you have been going on and on in the past years, making unplanned resolutions and failing. 365 days from life will be minus again, at the end of the year you will make new year's resolution again. In the end, results will be same, nothing will be changed in life.

Taking specific action and planning to transform the next 365 days into the best year of your life so far without going in the traditional way is sure to bring massive results. If you want to make the right plans to make the year productive before entering the new year, it is not only about making New Year's resolutions, but also about analyzing them to make them successful and taking immediate action to resolve them.

Whether you want to break old bad habits and develop good habits, you want to sweeten relationship, to reach another level of success, meet new financial goals, take care of your health, or anything else, you have to make a commitment, but to meet the objectives and to achieve those objectives, they must be analyzed at first.

You must have a complete explanation in your mind of why you are making the new resolution, what positive impact the resolution will have on your life, how to apply it in your daily routine, what new steps you may need to take, what challenges may be arised and how to overcome them. How can you prepare yourself for!

There are various aspects of life that you want to change and improve in the next 365 days. Choose the two to three most important aspects and then analyze them one by one. The better you analyze, the clearer the solutions will be to you.

Everyone knows consciously that in order to stay healthy, they need to take healthy food and do exercise, yet most people don't do so, why? Because none of them has a clear idea of ​​what positive changes in life can be brought about by eating healthy food, exercising for 365 days. As a result, they do not want to get out of their laziness, go back to that comfort zone, eat junk food due to cravings.

How to fulfill your Resolution:

These all are the definite steps I have described below to make sure your Resolutions come true.

1) Clear Understanding of Goals:

Setting goals is not enough, but you can never focus on them if you don't have strong reasons and clear picture about them in your subconscious mind. Even if you start with the first initiative, it will disappear after a few days. Follow the "MASTERY" rule to set your goals so that your goals stick in your mind and you feel congruent.

Here 'M' for Meaningful, 'A' for Achievable, 'S' for Specific and Simple, 'T' for Time-bound, 'E' for Ecology check, 'R' for Responsibility, 'Y' for Yearning. Read the article 'MASTERY' The Golden Way to Set Goals and achieve them for details.

Setting goals in this specific way will ensure that you feel connectivity, never let go. No matter how well you set a goal, no matter how well you plan, it's very difficult to achieve if you don't have the right mindset. To develop a positive mindset you need to set goals with the help of 'MASTERY' rules.

2) Integrate your Resolutions into your daily routine in a well planned manner:

Time is a big challenge for all of us in this busy age so if you don't use the 24 hours of the day in a well-planned way then your determination will fade into the pages of old memory. Plan and create a routine that allows you to set aside time each day to make your New Year's resolutions a reality.

3) Make those in your habit:

The first month especially the first few days are very difficult to develop any new habit. Once if it becomes a habit it will be very easy for you. You see, when you learn to drive a car first, it seems so complicated, managing so many pedals at once, along with steering, horn, keeping track of front-back, left-right, Oops, it seems impossible. When this driving becomes a habit, so many things will be handled automatically without any conscious effort.

Making anything new in a habit first requires conscious control, conscious effort, after some time it becomes a pattern in our subconscious mind then there is no problem. In the same way, the actions you need to take to fulfill your resolutions, first take conscious control over them to turn them into your habits, then automatically you will continue on that path and succeed.

4) Take Massive action:

"Slow is painful, fast is easy" keep it in mind, take massive action and only then you will get massive results, you can notice the change. Whenever progress is slow, success will not be at that level and you will also become demotivated.

The more you procrastinate at work, the more you lose interest. Of course, taking massive action can seem daunting if you misunderstand what it means.

Massive action doesn't mean taking a big step in right away, but maintaining a steady and upward effort to do things consistently until you reach your goal and fulfill your determination. Don't pretend to be busy, but increase your self-efficacy so that you can become committed to your dreams.
