A Revolution in Resolutions

Have you noticed the overwhelming abundance of simplicity books, videos, lifestyle choices that are out there right now? Do you wish that your life could somehow-- this year-- be simpler, more meaningful, more serene? How do your resolutions reflect this? How could they bring you naturally into a simpler mode of enjoying life?

I want to pose to you an idea that is very un-coach-like. It is to toss out each and every one of your resolutions right now. Oh, actually, let's reel them back in for just one moment of examination before wishing them for someone else who would like a 96% chance of failing this year.

When you look at those things/accomplishments/challenges that you viewed as important for 2001, what is the emotional theme behind them? If, for example, you resolved to quit smoking, start a home-based business and climb Mount Everest; what emotional results did you expect to be your reward for achieving these things? Maybe feeling healthy, or innovative, or courageous. Perhaps satisfied, loved or important....

Examine your resolutions now, and determine which emotional results are your true desire. Write them down, and take a close look at the handful of emotional qualities that you crave. THESE EMOTIONAL STATES are your simplified, streamlined, 2001 resolution revolution. These feelings are what you really want, and I want you to know, that you can attain them right now without grand gestures or high mountains.

Take our hypothetical friend above. What if "feeling healthy" is what he really wants, and he thinks "quitting smoking" will get him there. What if he were instead to ask himself what can make him feel healthy right now? Maybe a deep breath, or eating a salad, a walk in the park, or a roll in the grass. Might he be more likely to let smoking "fall away" if he began to breathe, walk in parks, and eat salad?* At least he'd be feeling good--which is what he wanted anyway....

Don't be another hypothetical statistic. Set your sites on what you will immediately succeed in. Your emotional goals can be yours, with revolutionary simplicity....

I'm rooting for you!

* The reason most resolutions like "quit smoking to feel healthy" fail, is because the immediate result of quitting is withdrawal symptoms (i.e. NOT feeling healthy). A scrambled signal goes to the brain, inner conflict is ignited and the person forgets why it was so important to them...

Re: What would you do with your last $1000? - I would put into my business certainly. If money sleeps then you will lose it. Nearly the eaxct situation happened with me. I had my last 750$ in my pocket to make money online. If I spent it in a wrong way, I would have to lose my chance to own business on the Internet. But I used it wisely and bought D.
