Make Your Resolutions Stick!
by
John Colanzi
Another
year is winding down.
As
the new year approaches it's time to make your resolutions for
the New Year.
You
start the New Year with "Great Expectations." You set
your goals for the coming year and you promise that this year
you'll stick to them.
As
time goes by you hit a set back here and an unexpected problem
there and your goals fly out the window.
Why
do you suppose that is?
I
can tell you why. You've been programmed to remember the negatives
and forget the positives.
We
lose our "Great Expectations" the first chance we get.
There's
a story that illustrates this point.
There's
a large group of individuals at a positive thinking rally. As
the speaker is talking in walks a man with a ticket in his hand.
The
speaker pauses and announces, "One of you has been chosen
to receive $1,000,000.
What
do you think flashes through their minds?
"I
know it's not me, I never win anything."
A
little later a man walks in with an executioners outfit on. The
speaker announces this time, "I'm sorry, but one
of you is about to be executed."
This
time everyone is thinking, "Oh God, I know it's me."
Wow!
Do you think like that?
So
how do you make sure you stay focused and positive when things
aren't going as expected?
There's
a concept they use in the "Silva Method" called "Reference
Points." Most positive thinking groups have similar concepts.
To
create a reference point you pick the most successful event you
remember. Every day you concentrate on your "Reference Point."
Why?
To
focus your mind on the positives in your life. Nature abhors a
vacuum. Left on it's own, your mind will fill the void with the
recent negative events.
As
soon as you reach a goal, you set a newer more positive "Reference
Point."
Tame
your mind, set your goals and keep your resolutions.
Start
using "Reference Points" and Make Your Resolutions Stick."
Wishing
You Success,
