சொல்லிய வண்ணம் செய்ய ஒரு முயற்சி - இன்றைய சிந்தனை

சொல்லுதல் யார்க்கும் எளிய அரியவாம்
சொல்லிய வண்ணம் செயல்
And the top 10 tips to help us see our resolutions through are: 

1. One Thing At A Time: any of us make the mistake of trying to achieve too much instead of deciding on what is important to us and making just one resolution. 
The chance of success is greater when we channel our energy into changing a single aspect of our behavior at a time.
 

2. Plot Your Success:  Find a way of charting your achievements. Keep a journal, or cover your fridge or notice board with graphs or pictures. 

3. Try Something New: Repeating resolutions you have failed to keep before is a recipe for disappointment. Set a new goal, or approach an old aim in a new way. For example, instead of trying to lose a set amount of weight, vow to exercise more.  For example, instead of saying that you will go running on two days each week, decide you will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays straight after work. 

5. Set S.M.A.R.T Goals: Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-based (SMART). For example, instead of simply saying you want to find a new job, come up with bite-sized goals for each week, such as rewriting your CV then applying for a job each week.  Map out small steps that will slowly but surely take you to where you want to be, write them down and stick to the plan. 

6. Carrot, Not Stick: We should motivate our self by focusing on the positive side, instead of beating our self up about our failings. Think how much better life will be for us, and those around us, when we achieve our aims. 

7. Go Public: Many of us prefer to keep our New Year's resolutions to ourselves. Unfortunately, this makes it all too easy to simply forget about them. Instead, go public. Write down your resolution on a large sheet of paper, sign it, and place it somewhere prominent in your home.  Tell your friends, family and workmates and ask them to support you. For example, if you want to lose weight, ask colleagues not to offer you biscuits with your tea. 

8. Be Persistent:  New habits take time to learn, and once in a while you will slip up and revert to the old you. Most of us give in to temptation occasionally, whether it is a cream cake or a crafty cigarette. 

9. Get Image Conscious: Visualize yourself doing whatever you need to do to achieve your resolution. Focusing on this image will help you believe in your ability to succeed. 

10. Be Positive: You will get better results from thinking about the good things that will come from your new lifestyle rather than the negative aspects of your old habits.
