Each new year, there’s a collective pressure to set New Year’s resolutions. A recent Forbes poll found that 62% of people feel pressured to set a New Year’s resolution while only 1% last all 12 months. Maybe you want to shed winter weight, start a new hobby, or get sucked into all the “New Year New You” marketing but what is the best way to transform your life in this coming year?
While making a drastic change can be more appealing with a special start date, the downtime of the holiday season can provide the perfect time to reflect on your life, plan ahead, and help craft changes you can achieve.
This post will collect some strategies to supercharge your success, keep you in the right mindset, get going with goals, and most importantly follow through.
Before you know where you’re going it’s best to see where you’ve been. It’s worth taking some of the down time as the year closes to examine what has and has not worked this year. It’s easy to get sucked into making the same old resolutions or fantasizing about a fresh start but part of crafting a solid strategy is doing a little research.
Investigating the various areas of your life and what’s been successful and challenging can give you valuable feedback. Many of what we want for our lives can be simple but there can be complex mental, emotional, or even spiritual reasons keeping you from simply making those subtle changes. A little research can help.
Here’s a helpful exercise to get started.
These three writing prompts can give you some valuable data about the past year.
Make a List of Your Successes for The Year.
What projects or goals did you complete successfully?
What worked?
What helped you succeed?
This list can give you some ideas you can implement in other areas of your life. Did you meet fitness goals or make major headway at work? What if you applied some similar strategies or channeled that energy to improving your home life or getting personal projects up and running?
Your successes show you what’s working and how you work best. These habits and tools can offer important information on effectively meeting personal deadlines and battling any resistance you run into.
Make a List of The Things You Didn’t Get Done This Year.
How long have you been trying to do this?
Do you really want to do this?
What has blocked you from doing it?
Sometimes we get haunted by the dreaded To-Do list. However, if you have been trying to complete a project or task for over a year and still haven’t you may fundamentally not want to or can’t. That’s valuable information.
Guilt or ambition can keep it on your list but what if you remove it from your life entirely? Maybe it simply does not have a place in your life anymore, or you simply need to ask for help or outsource it to someone else.
Make a List of The Failures, Mistakes, Missteps, and Drains of The Year.
What is something you wish you hadn’t done this year?
What is something you want to stop?
What has drained your energy this year?
What can you learn from this?
While this list could be a bit triggering it can offer valuable information. Knowing what did not work keeps you from repeatedly making the same mistakes. It can reveal bad habits and potential patterns holding you back.
This list can also show you what’s wasting valuable time and energy that you can put towards what you want to make happen.
Give yourself some time to write these lists: a day, a week, or even play with them for a month. Finding downtime during the holiday can give you time to really reflect while taking some emotional weight and pressure out of the process. This can be a fun exploration into yourself to build some momentum into creating your ideal life.
Taking some time to explore is great but you’ll want to schedule a fixed 20-45 minute window to review your responses. To get the most from this exercise, commit to a fixed time to look for patterns and keep an eye on what you want to change for the new year.
What do you observe?
How can you use some of this information?
What is a potential plan for following through?
Looking at what was successful can give you tips for success in other areas of your life. Looking at the items still on your To-do list can show you what you might be afraid of, what still matters to you, what you don’t want, what you need support with, and what may not belong in your life.
That last list can be a hit to your ego but can be so helpful. Our failures reveal our room for growth and opportunities for change. Looking at what isn’t working can show you traps you fall into. You can create a strategy to sidestep them and some behaviors to avoid. This can also reveal areas of your life that may need support and help you eliminate distractions and the time thiefs in your schedule.
What is wasting space in your home, closet, schedule, or even your personal life? Decluttering, paring down your schedule, stopping bad habits, and maybe even removing certain people in your life can clear your path to success.
These can drain your energy, pull your focus, and waste time. Now that you’ve reflected it is easier to be honest about removing the things in your life that no longer serve you. This will ultimately give you more time, energy, space, and focus for what is most important.
If your goals are vague they’re less likely to succeed. Without clarity, they can take longer than they need to or be too overwhelming to finish. Deciding the changes you want to make in an actionable, measured way ensures you can achieve them.
When thinking of goals you want to be S.M.A.R.T. Set specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-specific goals. This strategy ensures you’re more likely to finish them. If you make a resolution to lose weight you could lose one pound or twenty and still not feel successful.
However, if you set a goal to work out 45 minutes three times a week you set a specific measurable goal that lets you track success and is achievable by the end of the year. These boundaries make goals easier to complete.
Setting realistic goals also helps you make space to grow. Using this example, it may not be realistic to start with three 45-minute workouts each week. You may decide to start by working out 20 minutes two times a week for January or start with 2 full-length workouts. This allows you to ramp up month over month as you build momentum.
S.M.A.R.T. goals help reveal that many of our goals have sub-goals. This helps us establish a strategy for isolating bite-sized pieces of a larger plan and establishing a rhythm as you keep completing goals and grow incrementally.
When setting our resolutions we can be a bit fantastical and our eyes can be bigger than our stomachs. By looking at the small moving parts of our larger goals we can incorporate them into our daily life. For example, maybe your goal is to spend more time with your family or work on making more art. How can you do that in 15 minutes a day?
S.M.A.R.T. Goals also help us strategize. With the goal of working out which days of the week will you exercise? On off days you can schedule meal prep or plan your workout or attire. You can also designate a day to catch up if you miss a day.
SMART goals help us create contingencies, find clarity, and turn something vague and intense into small habits that can become regular parts of our lives.
One way to help support your goals, resolutions, or life shifts in the new year is an influx of energy. We can all feel drained especially around the end of the year or we can find a dip after the excitement of the new year fades. Quantum Upgrade gives you access to a field of pure quantum energy. This provides you with a boost to your vitality to get more done.
Quantum Upgrade gives you access to a field of pure energy that can give you a jolt of vitality, while also blocking out harmful EMFs. It’s also been found to increase cellular recovery and healing.
An influx of pure positive energy can give you a clearer picture of your energy drains. It can be hard to diagnose what might be draining your energy when you’re already tired or depleted. Quantum Upgrade can give you a little more energy to notice when someone might throw off your energy. Removing energy drains is a key to devoting your energy to what you want most of all to help bring it to fruition.
We can be lured into the excitement of making a New Year’s resolution but making major changes can take more than just one simple change. You’re more likely to succeed if you have a clear picture and incorporate simple shifts into your day-to-day life.
Preplanning and examining the past year can offer you some ways to find insight into what is working, what you can change, and how to turn the idea of your resolution into a strategy to shift your life throughout this fresh set of 12 months.
