New Year Resolutions
1. MAKE TIME TO MAKE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN
Demanding and difficult things become a priority even if they are unimportant and this leads to constant anxiety, dissatisfaction and neglect of things we love but honestly which is the most important, the love of your life or that report? So make time to take time out, socialize, achieve goals and resolve emotional issues because in the grand scheme of things these are much more important than wasting energy on getting stressed out about the drive to work or the cash point machine eating your card. Just setting aside a weekly me afternoon or even an hour will make your world a happier place.
2. STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP AND BE MORE REALISTIC
This generation has extremely high expectations. We want it all, we want it now and it all has to be perfect. If you stop setting yourself resolutions that exceed your abilities and family and financial limitations and go for small steps that achieve realistic goals and stop making everyday a stress inducing disappointment.
3. GIVE UP HAVING REGRETS
Measure achievements by how well you cope under normal less than perfect circumstances and acknowledge the fact you have got this far. Any successful person will tell you that failure plays a big part in success so stop living in the past, learn to accept, and move on.
4. DECIDE TO DEJUNK YOUR LIFE
If every day has become an endless round of chores, duties and non events then you need a good clear out. Write a list of all the things you have or want to do putting them into categories such as friends, paperwork, personal goals, food cupboard, then take each group and DRAG - IT
D - Do it now – get it out of your hair or because you can’t wait!
R - Review it - Some things don’t need to be done now or need time to think it through.
A -Assign it – give it to someone else, so what if they don’t do it as quickly or as well.
G - Get rid of it – need I say more!
