How to Re-Launch Your New Year's Resolutions

By now, New Year’s Day has come and gone and taken your resolutions with it. No big deal, it wasn’t the right time to start. In fact, never start a new goal at the beginning of anything (day, month, year or your birthday). The problem is the history of failure already embedded in these times. Almost everyone has begun a goal at the “beginning” and failed. Instead, pick some odd day and time, like the 12th of next month at 3:22. Read on for more tips about re-launching your resolutions.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Paper and pen

1. 

   ERASE YESTERDAY. Your mind only knows what you tell it. If you fret about the accomplishments you didn’t achieve and call them “failures,” the mind says, “Yes, you are a failure.” You must erase yesterday in order to be successful today. Call your experiences “great!” The mind will respond, “You are having some great experiences!”

2. 

   JOURNAL TODAY. From this place of greatness, you can reevaluate your resolutions. Write about what you really want. Think about how you can achieve this goal in a way that fits your personality and life style. Give yourself permission to do it your way. Again, tell the mind what to think, “This is a perfect plan for my purpose.” The mind responds, “This is perfect!”

3. 

   RE-WRITE TOMORROW. From this place of perfection, re-write your plan. Here’s a powerful example: “On the 12th of next month at 3:22 I begin my resolution to be a size 10. I let go of any other ideas I had or those that others had for me. Instead, I stand strongly in the knowledge that I am a powerful creator. I create my own destiny. I see myself in the black shorts and pink tank top on a 12th day in the summer at 3:22.”
   
   Your “tomorrow” is the best day to re-launch your resolutions. Good luck!
