Life-Changing Resolutions A Year-Round Endeavor
people will take stock of their lives and pledge to do things differently in
the coming year, perhaps resolving to improve their marriages, quit smoking or
lose weight.
In too many cases, those resolutions soon will end up on the junk heap of
personal improvement, victims of little planning and poor execution. And the
people making them will go right back to doing things the way they always did.
“If you’re only thinking about making changes in your life in December, my
question is, what are you doing the other months of the year?” says
McCurley
helping people make improvements in their work, lifestyle, marriage and more.
“It truly needs to be something that you’re doing throughout the year.”
McCurley has some advice for people who are interested in improving their
lives, including the following:
— Wait until after the holidays — and then commit to doing it long-term.
It’s too easy to get caught up in the holiday spirit and decide, along with
everyone else, that you’re going to make an important change. The change you
want or need to make still will be necessary in January, minus all of the
holiday parties, errands and high stress level.
— Don’t try to do too much too quickly — because doing so is a
prescription for failure. Instead of changing everything, sit down and make a
list of priorities. If your job or marriage is the thing that needs the most
work, concentrate on that first. Often, people find that improving in one
area has a spill-over effect on the others.
— Get a coach, mentor or loved one to help — and make certain you
interact with that person on a regular basis. Changing your life is too
important a task to engage in on your own. Seek out people whom you trust and
who have made positive changes in their own lives.
