4 Steps to Making Permanent Live Changes

Over the years I have learned that the best way to keep a New Years’ Resolution is not to make any.  Every time that I would set a resolution I would disappoint myself and then the guilt would set in.  My self-esteem would take a hit and I would slide back into old habits.  There were a lot of reasons why they didn’t work but the biggest reason was that my mind wasn’t in the right place.  They were simply words that I was saying because I thought that was the right thing to do.  I was always setting myself up to fail by making resolutions that were too big, too little, not significant or too significant.  What I had to decide to do is change my thought patterns.  Everything had to be said in a positive, reinforcing way.  Our words affect our outlook, attitude and affect the results that we achieve.  

 Here are four steps to reaching any goal that will help you reach any resolution you are contemplating.
