New Year Resolutions

NOT KNOWING HOW TO CHANGE leads us to year-after-year of failed New Year Resolutions. New Year Resolutions are about change. Changing some behavior or habit that you believe will better your life in the new year ahead. Resolving to do something different that you did not or were unable to do in the previous year or need to do in the new year:

• Eat differently/eat healthier
• Exercise more and lose weight
• Stop smoking
• Be a better person to someone in your life
• Stop spending money or start a saving account
• End some other bad behavior or habit or start a good one

“If you asked me for my New Year Resolution,
it would be to find out who I am.” Cyril Cusack

Year-after-year you continue to make these resolutions and generally each year you fail to accomplish your goals – worthy as they may be – sometimes ending up at the point where you stop making New Year Resolutions to avoid disappointing yourself, again. Therefore, making New Year Resolutions, at least the way you have been making them in the past, needs to come to a stop.

I have found you first need to address the cause behind why you cannot accomplish your resolutions before making any new ones – you first need to come to terms with your Human Nature. If you do not, you are setting yourself up for failure, again, not addressing the reason change does not happen. It is your Human Nature motivations that are making you the way you are and also keeping you from accomplishing your New Year Resolutions. Then, after that, any resolutions you make regarding your life should be based on the 12 Action Steps listed and defined in Only Human: Guide to our internal Human Operating System and Achieving a Better Life. These 12 Action Step take into account the motivations of our Human Nature.

Happy New Year – Happy New You!!!
