10 Easy Tips To Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Succeed

Written by I-key Benney, CEO


It is a New Year 2005 and I want to wish you good health, long life, success and happiness.

Duringrepparttar New Year, most people make resolutions but often very few are able to keep them.

Psychologists, Janet Polivy and Peter Herman, reported that 25% of new year’s resolutions will be abandoned inrepparttar 122820 first 15 weeks;repparttar 122821 average number of times an individual makes a new year’s resolution is 10, and that those whose resolutions lasted for about 6 months or more often tried 5 or 6 times before they succeeded.

For many years until recently, I was unable to keep any of my new year’s resolutions. So, my friend, you’re not alone.

This caused a lot of hardship in my life. I had many personal bad habits I wanted to get rid of, but due to lack of self-discipline and control, I was unable to do so.

Since 3 years ago, my life has changed and improved because of a few strategies I developed that helped me kick my bad habits, improve myself and achieve my ambitions in life.

What is your new year’s resolution? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to stop smoking? Do you want to stop drinking? Do you want to kick your drug habit? Do you want to stop gambling? Do you want to make three times more money this year?

Whatever your resolutions and goals may be, you can succeed if you adopt a few easy strategies I want to reveal.

Permit me to share with you 10 of these easy tips that have helped me keep my new year’s resolutions and make them work for me.

(1) Be reasonable

Know your weaknesses, define them and commit to improving yourself. Do all that is reasonable and legal to kick your bad habits and change your life forrepparttar 122822 better.

Have reasonable expectations.

For example if you’re 100Ibs overweight, it will be unreasonable to expect to lose all of it in a week!

However, if you make a commitment to engage in more physical exercises, eat healthy food and allow about 3 months, then that will be reasonable and you may succeed.

I was 100 Ibs overweight for many years, but by being reasonable, I have lost allrepparttar 122823 extra weight!

Make a resolution because it is right for you and will help you succeed in life and not because you want to please others or because it is fashionable.

You can’t please anyone until you’ve pleased yourself.

Set priorities. Start with small goals and resolutions and work your way up torepparttar 122824 jumbo ones.

(2) Don’t bite more than you can chew

Take it easy on yourself. You’re human, not a machine. Don’t make too many resolutions, which will then be hard for you to keep and cause you to fail and feel disappointed and hopeless.

Make about 2-3 resolutions at a time. Be very clear aboutrepparttar 122825 bad habits that you wish to kick or goals that you desire to achieve.

Don’t make a decision to kick a habit unless you’re ready for it.

For example some people who have been smoking or drinking alcohol for many years have noticed that each time they decided to quit they have failed.

The reason is that they may not be physically or mentally ready yet to stop.

When you smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, there are many biological and chemical activities involved.

The cells and organs in your body change and become dependent onrepparttar 122826 chemicals inrepparttar 122827 cigarettes (nicotine) and alcohol.

Therefore even though you have realizedrepparttar 122828 dangers of smoking or drinking, you may not be able to suddenly wake up from sleep and decide to stop.

Those cells and organs in your body may still continue to needrepparttar 122829 chemicals.

This isrepparttar 122830 cause ofrepparttar 122831 “urge”, “desire”, or “craving” that you feel to smoke or drink.

So, take it easy. Withdraw from bad habits slowly. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, start by cutting it down to half a pack daily and continue until someday, suddenly,repparttar 122832 urge to smoke will stop.

And stop blaming yourself forrepparttar 122833 bad habits. Accept your bad habits, but determine to kick them.

Acceptance frees you slowly fromrepparttar 122834 bad habits. Guilt and self- condemnation splits your energy and ties you more and more torepparttar 122835 bad habits, so avoid these feelings.

You can applyrepparttar 122836 same strategy to kick any bad habit. Slowly and steadily, if you persevere, you’ll win!

(3) Write your resolutions down.

After you’ve clearly realized and defined your weaknesses and bad habits, write them down in a notebook. Write all your goals and ambitions down in a notebook. This is one way to get mentally and physically committed to taking action.

Bad habits are allrepparttar 122837 behavior and personality traits that block your way in life and make it difficult for you to achieve your dreams and ambitions.

If you don’t know your weaknesses and habits in life, perhaps you can do what I did and ask any of your enemies to tell you. (Tip: Don’t ask family members or friends. They will never tell yourepparttar 122838 truth because they are afraid of offending you. Only enemies can help you. And if you have no enemy, make one on purpose!)

(4) Picturize your resolutions daily.

Be sure you have easy access to your notebook in which you wrote down your resolutions, goals and ambitions.

Read your resolutions at least twice a day, first thing inrepparttar 122839 morning and also just before you go to sleep inrepparttar 122840 night. Think about and mentally picturize your resolutions. See yourself inrepparttar 122841 eye of your mind succeeding with all your resolutions, goals and ambitions. Smile and tell yourself allrepparttar 122842 time that you haverepparttar 122843 willpower,repparttar 122844 self-control and discipline to run your life and to achieve all that you desire.

This is a good way to program your mind and thoughts. Instead of allowing others, TV, radio and magazine advertisements to program your mind and thoughts, control you and thereby force you to engage in bad habits, take matters into your hands and begin to constantly program your mind and thoughts with positive affirmations for success and happiness.

(5) Search for and obtain tools and resources that can help you actualize your resolutions, goals and ambitions.

It is not enough to know your weaknesses, set up goals and also visualize them.

Getting Rich With The Keys To Power by Alan Tutt bttp://www.KeysToPowerProsperity.com

One subject that seems to be on everyone's mind is money. I have had a number of people ask me ifrepparttar Keys To Power can be used to create fabulous wealth and untold riches. Well,repparttar 122819 simple answer is yes, it can.

Inrepparttar 122820 materials forrepparttar 122821 Keys To Power Mastery System,repparttar 122822 instructions are directed towards allowingrepparttar 122823 student to userepparttar 122824 principles for any purpose they choose. This is becauserepparttar 122825 Keys To Power system can be used for any goal you can imagine, not only making money, but also gaining love and affection, gaining better health, commandingrepparttar 122826 respect and admiration of others, and even moving objects with mind power alone,repparttar 122827 possibilities are endless. But for most students, a specific guide for a specific goal serves a much needed purpose.

In order to userepparttar 122828 Keys To Power system to attain money and riches, there are several steps that need to be followed. First, pay attention to everything around you. There are far more opportunities to make money than most people realize. Let's stop for a minute and define just what money really is. Money is a symbol that represents how much service you have provided torepparttar 122829 world. You are paid forrepparttar 122830 good that you provide other people. An employee is paid forrepparttar 122831 work that he givesrepparttar 122832 company. A salesperson is paid for showing customers a better means of accomplishing their objectives. An author is paid for givingrepparttar 122833 world a new viewpoint on knowledge, or at least a good entertaining story inrepparttar 122834 case of fiction writing. Most businesses are paid for givingrepparttar 122835 world a better product, or at least giving a good product in a better way. Money represents how much good you have provided to others. This should be easy to understand, just look atrepparttar 122836 ways that you spend your money.

Now, I know that there will be some who respond to this with "But I want a way to get money without having to work for it!" I always smile and chuckle inside when I hear this attitude. Actually, it'srepparttar 122837 attitude I had myself for many years. It doesn't work, and it will never work. Here's why. Whenever you holdrepparttar 122838 attitude of not wanting to give,repparttar 122839 Universe responds by holdingrepparttar 122840 same attitude, so it gives you nothing. If you holdrepparttar 122841 attitude that you want to give your best to others, thenrepparttar 122842 Universe responds withrepparttar 122843 same attitude and gives you its best, you get more than you ever imagined!

Withinrepparttar 122844 philosophy ofrepparttar 122845 Keys To Power, there is a strong current of "you get what you give". Put another way, "You experiencerepparttar 122846 sum total of who you are." If you are cheap and stingy and a miser,repparttar 122847 Universe will give you those kinds of experiences. If you are caring and giving and generous,repparttar 122848 Universe will also be those things to you. The Law of Cause and Effect. Your thoughts and feelings direct Power to create your experiences.

The reason I've spent so much time on this is simply because it is extremely critical to getting wealth. If you did nothing more than adjust yourself to become a loving, giving person, always seeking to improverepparttar 122849 service you give to others, then you will eventually become wealthier than you ever imagined! And if you don't do this, nothing else will make you rich, no matter how much energy you expend, no matter how much Power you learn to control. It's kind of like levitating. Yes, you can learn to levitate for short periods of time, but your life will be much easier if you just accept gravity as being a fact of life.
