    How are you doing with those resolutions you made almost two weeks ago?  Don’t feel bad if you’ve already botched your resolved efforts.  Many people give up, because they do not have the proper mindset.  It is key to achieving your goals and desired results.

    I’m sure you know, you can have do or be anything you want in life.  But, do you believe it? We’ve been conditioned to think we can’t achieve or obtain the life we want.  So, we are left to wonder how do we get there?

    The last resolution that I made and kept, was 27 years ago , when I quit smoking. I ate lemon heads when I wanted a cigarette.  It worked!  It was a lot better than that gum they had out then.  How is chewing something that tasted like you licked the ashtray going to make you quit smoking?  No Thank-You!

    First of all,you need to know what it is that you really want.  Then get in touch with it.  Set aside some quiet time to meditate and take an inward journey.  Like the Bible says get to “know thyself.”  It is a learning process as well as a commitment, to train your mind to get in the proper mindset.  A proper mindset is complete with vivid visions and positive actions necessary to help you create the life  and desired results you want.

    The Law of Attraction teaches us that like attracts like.  Whatever your thoughts are, you attract those thoughts into your life.  But, did you know your thoughts create your life? So, with that thought in mind, there is no room for negativity.

    Resolutions, no…I don’t do that.  What I do is set goals, both long and short term goals. I put them in writing, and put them on a message board where I am sure to see them at least three times a day.  It gives me a sense of empowerment, when I can cross something off the list as an accomplishment.

    Which brings me to a great example of accomplishment.  Did you ever ask yourself how President elect Barack  Obama, executed the most effective campaign ever created to win the election?  Well, obviously, he has the proper mindset, to have achieved the winning results.  I believe he used something like the five P’s, which are proper preparation prevents poor performance.  He properly prepared for the goal he set out to  achieve.  The outcome, the most brilliant campaign ever, lacking any poor performance.

    Whatever, your choice is, resolutions or goal setting, understand that the process takes time and commitment to yourself.  Always tell yourself that you are worth whatever it takes, to get to where you want to be.  Be consciously aware of the steps necessary to creating change.  It is a process.  Take one day and one challenge at a time, and live everyday in the NOW.

  11. Oh I loved this post its so very true. I believe in the concept of Law of Attraction, treat others as you wish to be treated etc.
    I however suffer from very low self esteem, so getting anywhere in life for me is a struggle. That been said I always get what I want haha….Well not really but thats positive thinking lol.
    So knowing I would fail any resolution I made, I decided not to do anything year and just work at doing what Im doing. Loosing weight for a start, Im not on a diet pa say but I have been refusing take away alot and getting out walking when ever I can. So Im on the right track. Sorry babbling. Godo Post.

  12. Hi Barbara,
    You hit it on the head. Mindset is key. It’s truly the most important thing for just about everything. For some reason mindset is one of those things that can take on a life of it’s own if you don’t feed it something healthy everyday! You have to read, listen to something positive everyday, learn AND get negative people out of your daily life. I found that to be very helpful-

  13. Hi Lady Grace,

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment. Yes, it sounds like you are on the right track. Never take on anything that will drag you down or cause you angst, as that is negative and defeating. Walking is great, as it helps clear your mind and the blues. Always remember, to your own self be true. You are worth it and you will succeed!

  14. Hi Maureen,

    You’ve got the nail on the head also. It is more than just positive thinking. Yes, I agree, you do have to feed your mind something good and positive everyday. And yes, the news, that puts anything positive right out the window. Why listen to it when it is all over the internet anyway? I find that a lot of the time what we hear and listen to, is what clogs our mind and clutters our judgment…if we let it!

  15. I’ve actually kept every single resolution so far, but I purposely set guidelines rather than resolutions. I think it’s more realistic.

  16. I have a realistic understanding of my mindset–and didn’t make any resolutions ;)

  17. Hi Corrin,

    Congratulations. I think you are right, goals or guidelines are far more realistic. Makes achievement easier to attain!

  18. Hi vein,

    Good for you… Hope everything goes your way this year !
