New Year – a time of miracles and change. If you want to improve your life or improve as a person, you can resort to the good old – write a list of promises you are committed to keeping in the new year. Do you think this is all nonsense? But scientists do not think so.
According to the results of a study led by psychology professor John Norcross of the University of Scranton, if a person wants to change, it is better to make a promise to yourself to do it. According to a study, people who make such promises are 10 times more likely to implement such changes.
We present you with a short guide to changing yourself.
Start with questions:
1. Are my promises positive?
To be positive in the new year, you need to focus on joy, gratitude and optimism.
Self-confidence – one of the main guarantees for the successful implementation of your ideas. Such confidence, and in addition a positive attitude, patience and following the chosen path will help you to believe in yourself.
Love of life is another key to success. A person should simply be able to enjoy life, no matter what. If you learn to see the positive aspects of the things around you, you yourself will not notice how all the problems will magically disappear. If your goal is – to enjoy life, you are simply doomed to success in achieving it.
2. Should/should I keep my promises?
In order to fulfill the promise, a person needs to show strength and perseverance. In fact, perseverance in work and emotional stability – engines of success. This consistency will help you achieve your New Year's Eve goals. Perhaps you already have a way that helps you focus on achieving your goals instead of wasting energy on anger, fear and other negative emotions.
Controlling your own emotions will allow you not to waste precious time on "analysis of flights and falls." If a person is able to bring himself and his thoughts into balance, he can tune in to harmony with the world. Learn to say to yourself, when faced with life's obstacles, not "This is too difficult" or "I can't", but "I will do my best to overcome this" or "What can I learn from this?"
3. Do I want to exceed my expectations?
For some people, New Year's resolutions can become invisible barriers – obstacles that prevent you from leaving your own comfort zone. For example, you may want to make significant changes to your diet or start actively exercising. Perhaps in the past you already wanted to do all this, but for one reason or another you could not budge. So, remember: now is the time to do it!
Don't forget that life always has something to teach you. It doesn't matter if you move in big or small steps. Main – come to your small goal, and then – one more, and another...
In any case, no matter what, try to squeeze the most lemonade out of the lemons that life brings you.
If you stumble on the way to achieving your goals - for example, do not go to the gym for a week or smoke a cigarette that is forbidden to you - do not give up! Continue to move towards the intended goal and do not allow yourself to cross out all those positive changes that you have already managed to achieve during this time.
