each year millions of people
all around the world
make new year's resolutions
making the right
new year's resolution for you
makes a big difference
as to whether or not you will achieve it
so today i'm going to show you
how to create a new year's resolution plan
so you can achieve whatever it is
that you want
do I have everything?
oh the camera
now there are two types
of resolutions
short term or long term
short terms tend to be easier
because they have less tasks to do
for example if you're not going to eat chocolate
for two weeks
just remove all the chocolate from your home
and then don't buy any more for two weeks
in theory
that's easy
but the most common resolution type
seems to be the long term
this is harder to do
because people have to make
an ongoing commitment
and it consists of many tasks
big and small
one thing is that people tend to
become overwhelmed or
disappointed in their progress
so they quit
if you're going to choose a long-term goal
the best chance you'll get to succeed
is to create a plan of smaller goals
to achieve this
for example if you want to lose 10 kilos
reduce that to 2 kilos in a month
once you've achieved that
move on to your next goal
and get that much closer to your finish line
this works with lots of goals
if you want to start a business
and make a thousand dollars a week
by the end of the year
start with just simply writing a business plan
then set up your online store
then learn how to market
and so on until you achieve what you want
the reason why people say
it's the little things that count
is because all the big things
are made of a lot of little things
so rather than thinking of your goal
like this
think of it more like this
now that you've established whether or not
your resolution is going to be short-term
or long-term term
start thinking about what it is
that you want to achieve
a lot of resolutions are about correcting
an issue
this can be really
detrimental as a lot of the time
it's considered a punishment
instead of a positive change
so dig deeper
and find out what your real goal
actually is
for example if your goal is to
quit smoking realise that it's actually
more about becoming healthy
and potentially saving some money
instead of saying i'm not going to have cigarettes anymore
say you're going to use the money that you
would normally buy cigarettes with
save up and go on a weekend get away
we could all use one of those
this way is a reward
not a punishment
another thing to consider
is that it's actually okay to fail
someone can quit smoking 7 times
before achieving long-term success
but then learn from the experience
get better at it
and eventually become successful
so don't be hard on yourself
if you fail a few times
it's actually part of the learning process
since a lot of revolutions
involve changing your habits
i'm going to be making a video on
how to handle your habits
so like and subscribe so you can see that too
once you've decided on what
your resolution is going to
be you need to establish your support system
i'm obviously here for you
you can contact me on social media
or in the comments below
I am always happy to help
it is literally why i'm on youtube
so i can help
start recruiting friends families
partners even co-workers
choose people that will help hold you accountable
support you when you need it
and remind you why it is
you want to achieve this goal
make sure you choose the right people
the wrong kind of people
are not going to help you
how often do you hear someone say
they're going on a diet
just to have everyone around them encourage them
to be naughty just this one time
those people are not going to help you
stick to your guns and if
someone can back you up
recruit them
lastly you need to write down your plan
break down your goals into smaller tasks
put deadlines on them
and keep updating and changing them
as you go along
just make sure you're realistic
and give yourself a little wiggle room
life gets in the way sometimes
so it's best to plan for it
if you're still unsure as to whether or not
you even want to make a new year's resolution
consider this
according to a study published in the journal of clinical psychology
only four percent of people
who didn't set a new year's resolution
but had a rough idea of a goal they wanted to achieve
actually achieved success
compared to 46 of people who did
make a new year's resolution
if you truly want to change your life
you need to commit
sometimes it's not easy
but change usually isn't
my new year's resolution
is to try and get 100 subscribers
by the end of june
so you could really help me out by subscribing
in the meantime
