Will It Be A Happy New Year?

Are you tired of making and breaking “New Year’s Resolutions” with big hopes and dreams that quickly run out of steam? If you are, then try a new approach. Instead of speedily striving for the impossible, work slowly and steadily for the possible. The following suggestions are a simple plan for gradual change that will help keep you improving your life throughout the year.

The Plan

1. Print off the 13 Choices for Happiness & High Self-esteem and post it by your bathroom mirror. Read it each morning and night while you brush your teeth.
2. Choose ONE Choice to focus on each week. Write this Choice in your journal at the beginning of the week. At the end of the week, briefly write down how focusing on this Choice helped improve your life.
3. At the end of 13 weeks, start over again. You can complete this 13-week plan four times a year (4 x 13 = 52). Consistency is the key to any kind of improvement.

The Slow Lane

In my blog post Do You Have High Self-esteem? Can You Tell Me How to Get It? I make the statement: “Change happens gradually. Focus on correct principles, and let it happen.”

This year, make a resolution to choose wisely every day, so you can create permanent positive changes in your life throughout the whole year—in the slow lane.
