New Year\'s Resolutions Don\'t Work - Success Strategies That Do
New Year\'s Resolutions seldom last past the second week. Why? \"Resolutions start from the negative,\" says Terah Stearns, business coach and author of Imagine the Power: Getting to Success Faster. \"The normal process for setting a resolution starts with \'I really should; I need to; or I must.\' None of these statements will engender success. They start from guilt and create an unresourceful, victim mentality. Certainly not the best key to success.\" Stearns recommends setting a positive intention through the following steps:
1) Visualize what you want in its ideal state.
2) Feel what success would be like.
3) List the benefits of being successful.
4) Set a positive intention for your success.
For example, take a piece of paper and write your thoughts about each of these steps. 1) Visualize your body 20 pounds lighter. 2) What would it feel like to be in your clothes when you are 20 pounds lighter? What would your energy level be like? What would your friends say when they see you 20 pounds lighter? 3) What would be the 3 biggest benefits to being 20 pounds lighter? 4) Write down your thoughts. Example: I am losing weight joyfully. My body feels lighter and more energetic. My friends squeal with delight when they see the weight I have lost. I love putting my clothes on each day. They are loose and comfortable.
Now that you have your visualization and your intention, read them morning, noon, and night. Feel the joy each time you read the statements and pat yourself on the back every time you notice a good result.
"Be sure to reward yourself with positive statements," says Stearns, "Even the smallest thing, like not eating everything on your plate or sharing dessert, is a powerful statement for success. When you do something you feel you shouldn\'t, make it funny! Don\'t make yourself wrong. Read your vision repeatedly. You\'ll be stepping into your power and enjoying your success every day."
Psychological tests have proven words like should, must, and need have a depressing and unresourceful physical response. Some people show as much as 50% decrease in energy saying these words. Starting negatively makes people more likely to fail. In her work with business relationships and success strategies, Stearns eliminates these words from clients\' vocabulary. "Start with what you want and feel it. Resolutions start with what you must do. You can feel the difference instantly," Stearns advises.
