New Year's Resolution Tips

How's your New Year's Resolution going? Have you forgotten about it already? 

Tried it before and it didn't stick?  

Could it be that you haven't hit on the actual thing that you really want?

To increase your chance of success this year try to answer the 3 questions below.
If you can gain a thorough understanding of why you want to achieve a goal and the perceived benefits you will reap you can start to focus on those specific underlying desires instead of concentrating so much on one thing and one outcome.

Why do I want these things?

What do they truly give me?

Is it the things themselves that I want or do I really want how they make me feel?

For example:
'I want to lose weight'
Q1. Why do you want to lose weight? 'So I look better in my clothes'
Q2.What does looking better in your clothes truly give you? 'It makes me feel more confident when I go out, it gives me more self esteem'
Q3. So is it the confidence and self esteem that you really desire? If it is maybe look at other ways to build your confidence and self esteem don't just focus on your weight or how you look. Focusing on one goal that will not be attainable for some time can cause feelings of disappointment and failure in the present which, in the above example will do nothing to build self esteem and confidence, in fact it could leave you feeling worse.

NEW YEAR ... NEW YOU!

Do you have a New Year's Resolution or any hopes or dreams for 2015?

Do you think of these goals as something in the future that one day you may achieve or are you making choices and living in a way that has your resolution occuring right now?

The following fable (by C.L. James, "On Happiness," in To See a World in a Grain of Sand, by Caesar Johnson) helps explain what I mean:
 

A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail and asked, "Why are you chasing your tail so?" Said the kitten, "I have learned that the best thing for a cat is happiness, and that happiness is my tail. Therefore, I am chasing it: and when I catch it, I shall have happiness."
Said the old cat, "My son, I, too, have paid attention to the problems of the universe. I, too, have judged that happiness is in my tail. But, I have noticed that whenever I chase after it, it keeps running away from me, and when I go about my business, it just seems to come after me wherever I go."

What is your happiness and what are you chasing to try to achieve it?
How would it feel to stop chasing your tail and to live in a way that brings all that you desire along with you?
