BRAND YOUR NEW YEARS' RESOLUTION

?How many people we know have made New Year’s resolutions but the majority fails to drive or achieve them? Yet still, making resolutions is a great idea, with a lot of positive effects. It is very important to put them down in writing and be able to measure them too.

Deciding on a new resolution is a commitment you make to yourself only. ?

It drives you to stay focused. According to a study done by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people will achieve their New Year’s resolutions.

Nevertheless, I think it is significant to write your new year resolutions and divided it in four simple categories:

Family comes first: ?By providing and supplying you with your basic needs, you were able to prosper and become an overall affluent, not only in a monetary sense, but as an individual. Spending quality time with your family is essential.

Self-Improvement: The benefit of Self-improvement?helps enhance strengths, improve mental health, and even heal relationships. Some ways of self-improvement include simple tasks such as reading a book, trying something new, mediating, exercising or even waking up early. Sharpening your skills and staying healthy.

Career goals: Developing effective goal setting skills will give you a sense of direction throughout these transitions as well as motivate you to achieve your new and specific goals. I understand that nothing will work perfectly as you would wish to, but you will definitely land close if not exceed sometimes your expectations.

Financial: Setting financial goals provides?a way to measure your progress so you know?if you're on the right track or not. As you take the necessary actions, the results can give you perspective and insight. They allow you to identify what's working, and what needs to be adjusted according to your goal in terms of saving or expenses.

Making?a?concrete goal is?really important?rather than just go elusively.

It is important to pick the right resolution. You’ll give yourself your best shot at success if you set a goal that’s achievable and most important significant to you. Here are few important reasons for writing your resolution:

Self-brain language:?Human beings take action based on planning and execution. This is the best way to communicate with your brain as this will be a road map for 2022. It consists in the most concrete, basic and fundamental language.

Responsibility and commitment: The best way to stay focused on yourself. ?Keep you alert and motivated to move forward. A commitment and a responsibility is a pledge or a promise to do something desirable for yourself and have the passion to drive it.

Targets /Goals: They give us a meaning and purpose to move forward in life. ?They give us a desire to continue to improve. A purpose is what motivates us to take action and advance whether to be healthier, finish a masters’ degree, build a career, run a marathon, etc.?Goals mean progress in all aspects of our lives. We can achieve progress through setting measurable smart goals (SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time frame). ?If there is no goal, there is aimless drifting and disorientation.

Staying connected: Writing your resolutions down help keep us connected with reality. ?It is an important block upon which we build our future. You can write it in a form of a letter to yourself in the past.

If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Brand Your New Year, make it fun and give it a title. You will be optimistic and drive you to a brighter future specially after the pandemic years that we have all experienced.?I am certain that by the end of this year you will be surprised and impressed by the difference it makes in your life and perhaps in the lives of those around you family, friends, colleagues and community. You need to keep pushing yourself forward. When you compete with yourself, you are, essentially,?dismissing other people's measures for success. Only compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Be your own competition, and i have no doubt that by end of the year you will be a better person.

Why do you think we need to write down our new resolutions for 2022? ?

Please share your thoughts with me as I would love to hear them!??
