New Year Resolutions, Wishes and Habits - II

(Motivational Series for Personal and Professional Development)

Series # 2 (Dt. 10-2-2016, Wednesday)

There are several reasons for discontinuation of action to achieve New Year Resolutions. Some of these are

• Lack of self-awareness about one’s higher-level interests, priorities,  core strengths and weaknesses (although people keep on telling about these)
• Mindset
• Habit
• Lack of preparation before setting New Year resolutions
• Setting too ambitious target to be achieved in short span of time
• Lack of implementation plan – just wishes in the mind (not in written form)
•  Changing or stopping resolutions just after initial failure or set back       

How we can set action plan to achieve our resolutions

Each day is a new day in our life. It does not matter that we should set resolutions only in the beginning of the year. On the other hand there is no harm in setting New Year resolutions just before the New Year or on the New Year day or in the first week of the year.   All we need self-analysis / reflection of our work and priorities and ample preparation for it.  Consultation with friends, family members and well wishers will help for setting right kind of resolutions. SMART Goal setting (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) technique may be applied.

Focus should be on changing Mindset. Replacing bad Habits with new good habits will be fruitful.
