A resolution is a wish. A resolution is something that we plan to do when we feel good, when we feel motivated. A resolution gives us hope that we are going to change. That’s why a lot of people decide to make resolution at the beginning of a new year. It is a fresh start, we feel pumped, we feel highly motivated. I believe all of us have been down that path.
But, there is a big “but”.
A resolution is a lie. A resolution disappears as soon as you are not motivated, and believe me, it will happen. I have been down that path so many times. It is a trap ! A resolution will not bring you results. A resolution appears to be free but in reality, it will cost you a lot. The cost of not achieving your dreams.
A resolution is just a wish. And that’s why only 8% of Americans continue to work on their new year resolution by mid February. That means that for 92% of Americans, their new year resolution is gone just 6 weeks after the beginning of the New Year !!!! And there is a reason to that : a resolution lacks everything we teach at SuccessfulHabits.
- A resolution lacks a process. A process is a series of actions to achieve the desired change. For example, I have a process to keep me healthy. This process defines what I do, when I do it, how I do it, where I do it. It is specific.
- A resolution lacks an accountability system. Being set accountable means, you feel like or you don’t feel like it; it really doesn’t matter. Because you are set accountable. For example, we go to work every day. Why ? Because our company, our customers, our co-workers are going to quickly going to ask questions if we stop showing up ! And soon we won’t be able to pay the bills !!! So even if we don’t feel like it (and we all have these days !), we still show up to work. Well, that’s the way we owe to treat our personal targets for the new year !
- A resolution lacks a coaching support. Being coached has been one of the biggest gifts I have received from another human being, in addition to being loved. It has opened my eyes and possibilities. And I know that I have humbly touched some human beings through my coaching. Having a support team in place, a partner, a mentor…who can support and who can be brutally honest, who are ready to show the path is a wonderful thing. Last year, I have helped people to get promotions, to get a new job after being unemployed for 6 months, to lose weight, to be healthier, to develop their intimate relationship. I have people I have not seen for years calling me and asking for help. Smart people ! They understand the beauty of being coached.
- A resolution lacks a regular review and adjustment. It is my Sunday routine. I review what I did good, what I did bad the prior week. Did I achieve my weekly targets ? Did I do the activities I said I would do ? And based on that, what do I need to repeat this next week ? And what do I need to change ?
You see : you don’t need a resolution. Actually a resolution is going to set you back. You need successful and powerful habits to be integrated in your life. SuccessfulHabitsCoach.com teaches you how to implement them and how, as a consequence, to unlock your true potential.
