Resolution Solutions - Part 2

Welcome to part two of The Resolutions Solution. In last week's post, we talked about resolutions and why most of them don't work. This week, we get to talk about how to make them happen, turn these goals into reality. And here's the solution. It's all about creating habits, which are automated behaviors that turn goals into reality.

I'm going to share five things with you to help make your goals stick.

1. The first one is focus. In fact, one of the reasons most resolutions don't happen is because there's no focus behind them. So one of the primary questions you have to ask yourself is, what is your specific goal? It's the specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound, the smart goals.

2. Number two is the mindset. Question here is, who do you have to become to achieve your goals? You have to get yourself in the right mindset to focus on those goals and stay focused on those goals.

3. Number three is routine. What regular habit will you commit to in order to achieve your goal? In his book, Atomic Habits by James Clear, he talks about how small habits done repeatedly over time lead to big results.

4. Number four is your surroundings. How can you set up your environment to make your habit easier? We want to stack everything in our deck in our favor to make sure that everything we have set up around us is going to help create success for us this year.

5. And lastly is the team. Here's the question here. Who will support you and encourage you in your progress? This can be a accountability partner, a professional, like a chiropractor, a personal trainer, a physical therapist, someone in your realm that's a professional that can help you towards these goals.

   
   

And I have one more that's a bonus that we're going to talk about in next week's post. We'll see you there.

Be Well
