How to Make New Year
Resolutions that You’ll Keep

Are you like most people?

You’re  excited about the New Year and make resolutions and then…

Three weeks later you are right back to where you started?

If this sounds familiar, then you may want to consider either not making resolutions or following the plan I use to successfully Make New Years resolutions that I keep.

Why You May Not Want to Make Resolutions

The biggest reason that resolutions don’t work is that the resolutions most people make are based on guilt or because they believe that they “should do” it rather than setting goals that they have a deep desire to achieve. If you really want to lose weight, because you know that you will feel better, then you are far more likely to lose that weight than someone who is doing it because they were told that they needed to lose it.

So the first step in making a New Years resolution is making sure that you have a strong desire to achieve the goal you are setting and that it isn’t something that you have selected because you think you should do it.

You might be wondering, so what can it hurt…

Remember that if you disappoint yourself, by not achieving your goals or resolutions, those feelings of disappointment will use some of your energy. You might begin judging yourself, and beating yourself up, etc. All of those negative feelings are only making things worse, causing you to feel negatively about yourself, etc.

Look for patterns in your past behavior

It’s also helpful to review prior resolutions to determine if you have a pattern of selecting goals that are “should” goals. If you do, it is likely that you have self-esteem and self-love issues and rather than setting goals and making resolutions, you would be better off taking time to discover your beliefs about yourself, your judgments of yourself and heal those wounds so that you feel worthy of doing something you have a deep desire to do rather than doing it out of obligation or to please someone else.

 

If this is the case, I highly recommend that instead of setting any traditional goals or
resolutions, that you consider setting a goal to love yourself more each day, by doing
something good for yourself. By doing so you will be much more capable of doing good
in the world, because you won’t be spending energy on negativity and beating yourself up.

You may also want to look more deeply into your beliefs about yourself, how you judge yourself, beat yourself up, etc., and start making changes to those beliefs and feelings about yourself.

The processes and Krystagraphs in the Power Symbols for Self-Love eBook will help you to
heal those old wounds and bring you more happiness and joy in your life, as well as help you to achieve your Heart’s Desire.

 

 

 

 

 

Setting Achievable Resolutions

Once you’re ready to start setting resolutions, it’s important to make sure that you are setting achievable resolutions. The following check list will help get your started.

 

 

 

 

1. Make a list of things you believe that you want to make as resolutions.
2. Muscle check each one on the list to determine whether it is a Heart’s Desire goal or a Should Goal
3. Eliminate all of the Should Goals
4. Using a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best for your highest good),rank your Heart Desire’s goals by muscle checking each one until you determine where it ranks.
5. Take the top 3-4 maximum and set those as your goals.
6. Create an achievable baby-step plan for each of the goals.
7. Do an intention ceremony by releasing your old habits before midnight and energizing your new habits immediately after midnight.
8. Post your goals where you can see them
9. Meditate regularly while visualizing and feeling what it looks and feels like after you after successfully achieved your goal.
10. Take inspired action. By listening to your inner guidance, you can quite frequently cut down the time it will take to achieve a goal, versus working hard at achieving the goal.
11. When things don’t seem to be going the way you want them to, walk away, get some fresh air and come back to the task. You are far more likely to see a simple solution, you wouldn’t have seen by trying to force things.
12. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they are along the way
13. Post your successes
14. Most importantly…

Enjoy the Journey!!
