Realistic Self-Promises

Revisiting New Year’s Resolutions

Let’s face it, it’s the middle of July, halfway through the year, and most of us left our New Year’s Resolutions in the dust before Spring.

Setting Achievable Goals

Do you want to finally become serious about sticking to an exercise plan? Why not carve out an hour sometime this week to sit down and think about some simple Goals you’d like to accomplish and promise yourself to pursue them?

Creating an Action Plan

To accomplish this, make just a few simple but important (to you) goals; keep them specific, and achievable. Write them down and post them somewhere that you’ll see them daily. Make an action plan for each goal you’ve selected. And put it into action this week. Let’s examine a couple of possible goals, and how to put them into action.

Implementing Financial Goals

Say my goal is to get a better handle on spending this year. I could write out something specific like this: “record all household expenses in a log and evaluate them weekly”. This is a specific and achievable plan. Now, to put it into action I must immediately buy a small notebook and put it with my wallet and credit cards.

Setting Health and Diet Goals

Instead of “resolving” to lose a certain amount of weight, make a specific goal, in writing, like “add vegetables to my diet and reduce starches and fats”. Put this into action by writing a grocery list for next week and going to the grocery store. Use a daily food journal, as we did a “spending” journal in the above example.

Fitness Commitment Strategies

If your goal is to get to the gym more often, make an action plan by putting this on your calendar. Begin using a calendar or a to-do list, each day if you’re not already doing so. Put your workout on it, treating your fitness and health with the same importance as you would an actual Doctor’s appointment.

The Power of Self-Promises

A big key to changing from a “resolution” mind set to one of making and achieving goals is this: making and honoring self-promises. Once we’ve made a specific and achievable goal, and an action plan; we must promise ourselves to pursue our goal(s) diligently.

Mindset Shift: Resolutions to Promises

This is a huge mindset shift. We’ve become accustomed to the idea that a “resolution” is something that can be broken. A promise is different; no one trusts a promise breaker. We wouldn’t make a promise if it wasn’t important.

Committing to Self-Promises

So take an hour this week; make a few simple and realistic goals with specific ways to put them into action. Make a promise to yourself to pursue your new goals, and just do it.
