10 Easy Strategies To Make Your Goals Succeed Self Help Articles | January 23 Paul George Jersey , 2005
It is a New Year 2005 and I want to wish you good health, long life, success and happiness.

During the New Year, most people make resolutions but often very few are able to keep them.


Psychologists, Janet Polivy and Peter Herman Carmelo Anthony Jersey , reported that 25% of new year?s resolutions will be abandoned in the first 15 weeks; the average number of times an individual makes a new year?s resolution is 10, and that those whose resolutions lasted for about 6 months or more often tried 5 or 6 times before they succeeded.

For many years until recently, I was unable to keep any of my new year?s resolutions. So, my friend, you?re not alone.

This caused a lot of hardship in my life. I had many personal bad habits I wanted to get rid of Russell Westbrook Jersey , but due to lack of self-discipline and control, I was unable to do so.

Since 3 years ago, my life has changed and improved because of a few strategies I developed that helped me kick my bad habits, improve myself and achieve my ambitions in life.

What is your new year?s resolution? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to stop smoking? Do you want to stop drinking? Do you want to kick your drug habit? Do you want to stop gambling? Do you want to make three times more money this year?

Whatever your resolutions and goals may be, you can succeed if you adopt a few easy strategies I want to reveal.

Permit me to share with you 10 of these easy tips that have helped me keep my new year?s resolutions and make them work for me.

(1) Be reasonable

Know your weaknesses Cheap Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys , define them and commit to improving yourself. Do all that is reasonable and legal to kick your bad habits and change your life for the better.

Have reasonable expectations.

For example if you?re 100Ibs overweight, it will be unreasonable to expect to lose all of it in a week!

However, if you make a commitment to engage in more physical exercises, eat healthy food and allow about 3 months, then that will be reasonable and you may succeed.

I was 100 Ibs overweight for many years Andre Roberson Jersey , but by being reasonable, I have lost all the extra weight!

Make a resolution because it is right for you and will help you succeed in life and not because you want to please others or because it is fashionable.

You can?t please anyone until you?ve pleased yourself.

Set priorities. Start with small goals and resolutions and work your way up to the jumbo ones.

(2) Don?t bite more than you can chew

Take it easy on yourself. You?re human, not a machine. Don?t make too many resolutions, which will then be hard for you to keep and cause you to fail and feel disappointed and hopeless.

Make about 2-3 resolutions at a time. Be very clear about the bad habits that you wish to kick or goals that you desire to achieve.

Don?t make a decision to kick a habit unless you?re ready for it.

For example some people who have been smoking or drinking alcohol for many years have noticed that each time they decided to quit they have failed.

The reason is that they may not be physically or mentally ready yet to stop.

When you smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, there are many biological and chemical activities involved.

The cells and organs in your body change and become dependent on the chemicals in the cigarettes (nicotine) and alcohol.

Therefore even though you have realized the dangers of smoking or drinking Patrick Patterson Jersey , you may not be able to suddenly wake up from sleep and decide to stop.

Those cells and organs in your body may still continue to need the chemicals.

This is the cause of the ?urge?, ?desire?, or ?craving? that you feel to smoke or drink.

So, take it easy. Withdraw from bad habits slowly. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, start by cutting it down to half a pack daily and continue until someday Terrance Ferguson Jersey , suddenly, the urge to smoke will stop.

And stop blaming yourself for the bad habits. Accept your bad habits, but determine to kick them.

Acceptance frees you slowly from the bad habits. Guilt and self- condemnation splits your energy and ties you more and more to the bad habits, so avoid these feelings.

You can apply the same strategy to kick any bad habit. Slowly and steadily, if you persevere Kyle Singler Jersey , you?ll win!

(3) Write your resolutions down.

After you?ve clearly realized and defined your weaknesses and bad habits, write them down in a notebook. Write all your goals and ambitions down in a notebook. This is one way to get mentally and physically committed to taking action.

Bad habits are all the behavior and personality traits that block your way in life and make it difficult for you to achieve your dreams and ambitions.

If you don?t know your weaknesses and habits in life, perhaps you can do what I did and ask any of your enemies to tell you. (Tip: Don?t ask family members or friends. They will never tell you the truth because they are afraid of offending you. Only enemies can help you. And if you have no enemy, make one on purpose!)

(4) Picturize your resolutions daily.

Be sure you have easy access to your notebook in which you wrote down your resolutions, goals and ambitions.

Read your resolutions at least twice a day Steven Adams Jersey , first thing in the morning and also just before you go to sleep in the night. Think about and mentally picturize your resolutions. See yourself in the eye of your mind succeeding with all your resolutions, goals and ambitions. Smile and tell yourself all the time that you have the willpower, the self-control and discipline to run your life and to achieve all that you desire.

This is a good way to program your mind and thoughts. Instead of allowing others, TV, radio and magazine advertis .
