New Year's Resolutions Already Out the Window?

Written by Marion Franklin, MS, PCC

The start of repparttar

new year seems like repparttar 131043

perfect time to start anew, to finally handle something that has been bothering us for quite some time. Yet, despite making all sorts of promises, it's rare that we actually stick with it and make those changes that we claim we want.

What is it about saying that we want to make a change and actually making repparttar 131044 change that's different? What gets in our way? What prevents us from bringing our ideas to fruition? Why do we bother to say that we will change something when it usually doesn't happen anyway?

Looking at our lives today, it's no wonder that we can easily get caught up in distractions that prevent us from making changes. Every place we turn is filled with something else attempting to get our attention and focus. So, it's no wonder that despite our good intentions, something will come along that will pull us away. How many times do we say, "I need to clean up my desk. It's such a mess, and I have trouble finding things." Seems like a good idea at repparttar 131045 time, but before we know it, a year has passed and repparttar 131046 desk looks exactly repparttar 131047 same as it always has. How many times do we vow to exercise regularly. Sometimes it means joining a gym or it could be as simple as bringing a treadmill into repparttar 131048 house. Yet, how many of us actually begin a regular, consistent routine? And, if we do start a routine, how many of us actually stick with it?

Sometimes, we bite off more than we can chew. Other times, our goals require too many changes or too major a change at once. And yet, other times, repparttar 131049 distractions lure us away in another direction. So how can we can we get focused and on track? How can we make changes that actually work on a long-term basis? One of repparttar 131050 answers is to hire a personal coach.
