Happy New Year! Why I Prefer to Not Make Resolutions


First of all I just wanted to say a big Happy New Years for 2011 brides and grooms to be. Have you made any resolutions? I do... sort of I just don't call them resolutions because I know that it's just setting myself up for failure. So I do things a little differently to ensure that I set a few things to work on to improve myself and my life. Here are the steps I take and if you'd like to use them or a variation on them, by all means:).


Step 1. I think of what I wish my life would look like right now.

Step 2. I think of a few goals to achieve the things I want out of life.

Step 3. I pick a few goals (no more than 3 right now) that I want to concentrate on.

Step 4. Then I say that within a year "I will have achieved going on a trip with my family" or "I will have achieved running a 5 km race". I want something that isn't too easy for me, that I really see myself achieving, and that it's not too far fetched either. Something that will take a little effort to achieve and will feel so great when I get there! Happy New Year Quotes 2020


Step 5. Then I create a few smaller goals within those overall long term goals and write out a plan daily, monthly, every 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. This is my guideline, check in if you will. I keep them in my calendar and up on a vision board so I'm reminded of my goals every day.

This has been the best way for me to meet and achieve my goals and then to actually be able to add on to said goals. Make sure you reward yourself for small achievements and be grateful for where you've come and where' you're going. Being hard on yourself, setting the bar too high only to fail or being overly critical on yourself will help no one achieve their dreams.

Best of luck to you and your fiance on your dream wedding!

In The Long Run - A Father, a Son, and Unintentional Lessons in Happiness by Jim Axelrod-Memoir

Image
Axelrod covered Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary campaign in 2008, which meant long periods away from his wife and three children. He found himself eating poorly, gaining weight; and drinking too much. During the spring months of Clinton's campaign, Axelrod discovered his father Bob's finishing times for the New York City Marathon, which he ran in 1980 to 1982. His last race time was an impressive 3:29:58 at the age of 46. Axelrod, inspired by his father's marathon achievements, aimed to beat his best time by November 1, 2009 when he too would be 46. Bob Axelrod died in 2000 after a nine-year battle with prostate cancer, at the age of 63. Despite his shortcomings as a man, Axelrod lovingly remembers his father; and shares life lessons he learned from him even in death. In 1965, at the age of two and a half, he attended the World's Fair in New York City. There, using his strong hands, his father lifted him to safety from the little boats featur...
