The trick to keeping resolutions....Read On If you Dare..

Follow through is tough when it comes to resolutions. The trick is to examine why, what are the roadblocks? how do we come to the resolution in the first place? Without making things too complicated, let's look at the building blocks for creating excellence in our lives..

VALUES: You must know your values. Your values are the foundation of everything you do in life, including the goals and resolutions you set. If your values are not in line with your resolution, or you are not clear why you want something. Your approach will not have as much momentum or meaning. What do you value really? write it down.

STANDARDS: Standards are the principles we hold ourselves to, and are based on values. Once you have a clear picture of your values, take a look at your standards. What kinds of standards do you hold yourself to today? what kinds of new standards would you like to set for yourself? A couple of examples of standards include; I don't smoke, I exercise regularly, I give gratitude to the people I love on a daily basis. You have them we all do, but clarifying them gives us insight on who we are, and why we are. Write down two new standards you would like to live by starting tomorrow. Explore the reasons why? How do these standards align with your values.

SELF CARE: Self-Care= Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual: We all know that self care is important. The irony of the importance of self care. Self care should NOT BE a GOAL, it should be a STANDARD. This is the trick. Most of us set goals that are self care. Well guess what, Self-care is not a GOAL it is a life long building block made of standards that supports our entire entity including our dreams and goals in life. Remember, Practice makes Habit, and good habits create excellence. If you really want to make a change, establish your standards and go forth. When people practice poor self care, neglect their standards and ignore their values, they create a recipe for disappointment and failure.

There is no way around it. As they say....HOW BAD DO YOU WANT CHANGE?

Want change? Are you serious about it?
