Greatness does not come as a complete package, in a one-off
delivery. You have to consistently build on your skills, knowledge, strength,
with responsibility, perseverance and focus on the goals, on your mission.

brighter.

Your Daily Quote - Mission
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Why Do We, and Should, Make the New Year's Resolutions List? - part 3 of 3
How to stay committed to
your resolutions throughout the New Year
Your resolutions are part of your journey in becoming a happier,
healthier and more successful person. You make them because you want to achieve
more, become more, give more to yourself.
This is why you need to have a clear statement of the purpose of
your resolutions:
1. Have a clear mission
For what
purpose do you want to be 6 kilos lighter, or go on the holidays of your dream?
Is it because you want to change your wardrobe, or feel more confident? Is it
because you want to feel independent and free?
Having
clarity on that will give your energy and ongoing internal motivation.
2. Create new, healthy habits – at home, at
work, in your relationships
Our days are
full of habits that we don’t even notice – the way we sit in the car, the way
we eat at the table, the way we greet the family in the morning. You can
install new habits that, by virtue of constant practice and repetition, will
turn from conscious choices into inherent habits after 30 to 90 days of repetition:
choose to reach for an apple, rather than chips or snack; choose to prepare a
to-do list for the next day at the end of each day, or choose to get off the
bus or train a stop earlier, and walk the remaining distance home, every
Tuesday night. And kiss your partner good night every evening.
3. Have resourceful daily rituals
What do you
do when you wake up in the morning – do you lie down for “just a few minutes”,
or do you get up, called by your mission? The order of habits you have, is your
morning ritual. You can create a healthy, resourceful series of actions,
starting with a reminder of your mission and purpose. Or by telling that great
person in the mirror how amazing, inspiring and strong they are. Affirmations, as you know, are a very powerful tool. Your ritual may
then continue with having a glass of water (and lemon juice), a brisk exercise
or a jog in the park.
What do you
choose to have as an evening ritual? Do you make a list of the things you are
grateful for before you go to bed? And a list of your achievements…
When you
align your mission, your habits and rituals with your goals, you will act in
congruence with the person you want to become. And when you team your act with
self-discipline, your New Year’s resolutions will become attainable, and your
commitment and ability to succeed – a natural part of who you are.
So, start
making the Resolutions list!
