Discerning to Resolve

Contributed by Stephanie Staples at Your Life Unlimited

Whether you believe in them or not, whether you call them resolutions, commitments, affirmations, intentions or whatever… they can, and have, worked for thousands of people across borders – why not make them work for you?

Here are a few ways to increase the likelihood of making 2016 one outstanding year – the year you didn’t just talk about doing ‘it’ – this is going to be the year you actually did ‘it.’

First get clear on what your ‘it’ is – is it something your that gets you jazzed and excited or just something you feel you should do? I’ll tell you right now that The Shoulds are very unlikely to make it to February but the jazzy ones – now you’ve got hope!

To tell or not to tell – People often ask me, should I tell other people about my commitment  – to which I answer yes and no. Yes, tell encouraging, motivated, positive, supportive people who will help you. No, do not tell people who are negative, unsupportive or the  jealous type.

Break your commitment down into small manageable chunks, a little of something is better than a whole lot of nothing.

Your Life, Unlimited on radio this week…

Ravi Tangri  shares an amazing customer service/Cinderella story. Ravi also talks about creating a vision that makes you feel nervous & excited (they share the same physiology). When you have done that you know you are onto something! Crazy nervous and crazy excitement… when is the last time you felt those two feelings in tandem?

Kathy Dempsey  says, it’s not the experience, it’s the reflection of the experience that matters. Spend some time in quite reflection, give yourself time for discernment, ask yourself what brings you joy and then ask yourself how you can get more of that!

Enjoy the whole show here…
