Doing Resolutions Right
Reflect, Dream, Plan, and Do
If you're a personal growth junkie like me, then this time of year gets you fired up to set goals and make plans for the year ahead. Sadly, the grand aspirations don't always get very far. They stay stuck between the pages of our private journals, or never get written down at all.
This year, I'm sharing with you a simple process for doing the New Years' Resolution thing right - in a thoughtful, thorough, and pragmatic way sure to help you stick with your goals in the year to come. Read on, and download the guide I've created to walk you through the process for yourself.
Step 1: REFLECT
Before looking ahead, it's important to take some time to look back. My guide will walk you through a few questions about your past designed to help you reflect on what you achieved, what got left undone, and what you learned along the way.
Step 2: DREAM
In this step, your job is to let your mind run wild with possibility! You'll take some time to brainstorm all the possible goals you might set for yourself in the year ahead.
Step 3: PLAN
Here, you'll put on your Adulting hat and start to narrow your goals down to those that you want to focus on for the year ahead, and write some specific steps to help you get to your finish line.
Step 4: DO
At last, it's time to get into action! This step offers some ideas to help maximize your chances for success in the year ahead.
