New Year’s Resolutions…again
I know how it is. You can probably scratch out 2006 and write 2007 on the top of your resolutions list. The list has not diminished. Disappointed with yourself? Time to stop beating yourself up and take a closer look at your expectations. How can you accomplish more and feel better about what you’ve done?
Start with one item that feels most important to you instead of a whole long list. One feels like not enough? OK, you have my permission to make another resolution once you’ve achieved the first.
If you’ve promised yourself you’re going to get organized, ask yourself where and how. Choose one task like recylcing the newspapers each week or clearing the desktop before the end of each day. Break it down into manageable tasks or behaviors that you can maintain.
Finally, the results may not come quickly enough for you. Change is not easy, and it’s a process. Hang in there, and celebrate what you are doing.
