Ditch Your New Year's Resolutions
Summary
As the New Year approaches and the stress of Christmas fades, many of us feel eager to make big changes: losing weight, paying off debts, getting fit, drinking less, and even being nicer to our in-laws. Sound familiar? Read on!
The reality is, most of us set ourselves up for failure with New Year's resolutions because our lists are too long and not nearly exciting enough.
Why You Should Ditch Resolutions
Abandoning New Year's resolutions altogether might be the most liberating decision you make. By doing so, you can escape the guilt of setting goals, starting them, slipping up, and then abandoning them within weeks.
Instead, focus on One Big Goal for the year. Choose something that truly excites and challenges you?"a goal that feels like a significant achievement or even a life-changer once accomplished.
Have you always dreamed of running a marathon, volunteering abroad, trekking the Himalayas, starting a business, relocating, or changing your career? Make this the year you stop hesitating and take action.
Your 3-Step Plan for Setting Your Big Goal
Step 1: Make It Exciting
Your big goal should make your heart race with excitement. Spend some time in early January reflecting on what's missing from your life and what's truly important to you. Choose a goal that excites and scares you. Write it on a sticky note and place it somewhere visible every day.
Step 2: C.I.G.A.R. It
Big ideas can be daunting, so break them down. Assess your Current situation, envision your Ideal outcome, identify the Gaps, draft an Action plan, and set up a system to Review your progress regularly. (C.I.G.A.R = Current, Ideal, Gaps, Action, Review).
Step 3: Take Small Steps Every Day
Following the advice of St. Francis of Assisi: "Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and soon you're doing the impossible." Small, daily actions accumulate into significant progress. Find a buddy for support and surround yourself with encouraging people. Before long, you'll be achieving the impossible.
