How to make a "New Year's Resolution" a reality!

Image
Only 8 to 12% of us actually are successful with our New Year's Resolutions.  I want to share with you how you can make your 2014 New Year's Resolutions a reality.  We need to keep things simple and enjoy the process.  There are six simple steps in achieving success with your resolution. 1.  "Change the Name" - Move away from calling your 2014 goal a "resolution" .  Make it a name that is unique for you.  The name should help motivate you to move forward with your goal.  You may want to call it your Amazing Adventure, your Cause, your New Life Adventure  .....whatever motivates you.  Creating a "resolution" utilizing the word "resolution" can possibly set you up for failure.  With having not accomplished your "resolutions" in prior years, you may subconsciously associate "resolution" with lack of success.  Make your resolution fun and personalize it!  2. "Define your Ultimate Purpose" - You need t...

Post Christmas depression or relief? December 26th and beyond.

The hype! The build up!  The event! And.....  it is still only a 24 hour day.  The expectations and excitement of the big event - Christmas - can seem like a let down the day after.  Many go back to work the next day, have the joy of cleaning up, or returning gifts.   Then there is the fact you may have spent hours or even days decorating for this event only to see that you now have to put it away.  Depression or relief?  For this one event of the year many of us put in so much energy that it literally wears us out!  The big question for you is, "What Now?"  We build up so much energy into the holiday, that we may experience a huge let down.  We changed our rhythm in life and set ourselves on a pace of pure excitement and expectations.  Maybe we had family reunions with members of our family we haven't seen for a long time.  The joy of seeing each other and spending time was so wonderful or overwhelming.  It may hav...

Emotions and Pressures escalate during the holidays? Happy Holidays?

The holidays are to be times of great joy and happiness, but for many they become a time of dread and even despair. Why is it that we find ourselves so stressed out during these times of year?  In the school setting we find an unique situation concerning students.  Many students who have "troubled" lives or experiences, do not like the holidays.  As vacations approach, these students become very agitated and disruptive.  Speaking with these students, I find that they do not want to be "stuck" at home and away from the one place they can find some aspect of peace.  They may not excel in school and even complain, but they actually find school to be a place of stability and support.  There are many students who "dread" summer vacation and actually seek ways to find themselves in summer school. Even some adults would rather work and be busy instead of facing the realities of the holidays.  Ba Humbug!   Why is it that we create...

What is the story behind the assumption? If others' perceptions are a reality, how can we change the perception?

Through my various adventures in life, I just wrote on this topic on another blog www.savinglindsaylohanandkristenstewart.com .  Thought I would share excerpts of the other blog and apply it to your career and life.  I love the thought that one's perception of us is their reality.  Do you find this to be true?  Look at your social and work life.  Where do you see those times when others' reality of you was in fact untrue?  Why did this occur?  How is it affecting your career and your life? Individual's assumptions and our actions create perceptions.  These perceptions then become reality for the individuals who created the assumptions in the first place. You are faced with cameras throughout each day just as celebrities are via the "paparazzi".  The cameras are in the forms of others' eyes and perceptions they are creating for you, thus their realities of you.  Look at your past and see those moments when you were frustr...
