Happy New Year !

Happy New Year! How are you beginning 2011?  Did you make a New Year resolution?  I did.  Actually, I made a few of them.   Is yours one you’ve made before?  Oh, yeah, like me — same list, different year.  Now, let me guess.  Could your resolution fall in the following goals: Improve health or lose weight? Improve finances or get out of debt? Improve your career, get a better job or land a job? Improve your education or learn something new? Improve yourself — manage stress, manage time or simply to be more fun? These are the most common goals that occur year after year.  And, truthfully, I wish to improve in all of these areas (some more than others).  That’s where the problem lies.  It’s virtually impossible to create change in all of these areas all at once. Making Your New Year Resolution Stick A New Year resolution is a commitment that we make to a personal goal, project or reforming of a habit at the beginning of a year in order to start with a clean slate.  It’s a time of reflection and self-improvement.  It’s a time to start anew.  As with anything “new” it’s best to commit to ONE thing first and then to add other goals after mastering the ONE.  Just begin with ONE.  Create a new habit and stick with it for at least 45 days.  Some people say you need 21 days or perhaps one month to start a new habit.  Yet research shows that you need to get past that 30-day mark to really implant a new habit.  Try it with me.  Just ONE goal.  Just 45 days. Think about it.  Do the math.  If we took ONE goal and created a new habit in only 45 days, conceivably we could tackle eight goals in just one year ( 8 x 45 days = 360 days) and chances are you don’t even have eight goals in your mind right at the moment.  Here are some stats around “success rates.” Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals. A separate study in 2007 by Richard Wisemen from the University of Bristol showed that 78% of those who set New Year resolutions fail.  Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, (a system where small measurable goals are being set; such as, a pound a week, instead of saying “lose weight”), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends.
