Its Your Year to Be BOLD!

Monday, 22 March 2010 21:01

Did last year seem like a bit of a downer?  Well it seems to be the same answer across the board.  There may be may reasons for this.  Financial, family, health, or personal issues, however, lets try and take back what was lost and more.  Here are four points that I enjoyed and I believe you might as well.

 

1. Feel your dream - Write a letter to yourself from the future about how fantastic it feels to have achieved your dream. Turn your dream into a feeling, rather than just a pie-in-the-sky idea. The action of writing down what life looks like in the future gets the brain working subconsciously to achieve that reality.

2. Be accountable - Sharing your goal with other people means you're more likely to hold yourself to it.

3. Make it happen - You don't necessarily have to know what all your steps are going to be; just make a small movement in the right direction every day.

4. Designate a cheer squad - Find somebody who can help keep your enthusiasm up. This could be a mentor or a coach or, more informally, a spouse or friend. It's very common to set goals, start, and then fall to pieces in the middle, because it is really hard to maintain new habits. If you have somebody interested enough in what you want to achieve, that goes a long way to helping you get you to your final destiny! It keeps you fighting and gives you someone to celebrate your achievement with when you realise your goal.

This is your year to shine, grow, and become a new person.  Sometimes it takes a dirty house to realize its in need of a good scrubbing.  Enjoy life and reclaim hope.  Clean up your mental rubbish by saying, "I can, I will, I am."
