Today is the strongest hope and optimism completed the day of the year.
That’s great!
Regardless of the goals or resolutions you set yourself, I’m excited for you!
We all try to get better better, and though things didn’t work out in the way we wanted them in the past, we hope this time will be different.
Nick Cave musician describes hope as “optimism with a broken heart” and I think that is beautiful exactly. We all try to be different when the change is so damn difficult.
If you are trying to build a new exercise habit or change the number on a scale this year, I greet you. Setting the change goal is very commendable.
But to give our best chance to achieve our goal, we need to combine the goal with self-reflection and self-awareness.
Here are two questions that you are setting up how we start 2025 …
Question 1: What is different this time?
I’m proud of you for starting again.
But what is different about this attempt?
If you are doing what you’ve always done you will get what you have always received.
The best predictor of future behavior has passed behavior.
If you select the same goal or strategy you’ve been through (unsuccessful) tried (unsuccessful), the end result will be the same: Another lost year “Why can’t I compose my act together?”
So be intentional about what this time is different!
Don’t just “go to XIZ diet” or “Cancel all eternal sugar” or “train for a marathon”, especially if you tried these things before and you can’t stick to them.
Something must be distinctly this time:
- Do fewer changes.
- Choose one goal and focus on that.
- Choose a different training routine.
- Choose a different change in nutrition or diet.
- Choose a different time of the day to work.
- Recruit a friend to join you so that you don’t do it yourself.
- Make your newly desired behavior Useful or necessary.
Prove yourself you learned something from your attempts of the past. Don’t let failures be in vain – they showed you what doesn’t work For you.
Try something different this time!
Question 2: What are you afraid of?
You are full of swings right now and it’s great.
But three weeks from now on, life will happen and something will go wrong.
How was your tendency when it happens in the past?
We ask everything NF coaching client Before starting, “What are you most annoying about?”
That answer is something that is aware of the result of their attempts so far:
Will you busy and decide “to rest until things are slowing down?” Great! Now you know when that little voice in your head says you can prepare it, plan to do something different and decide that you don’t want to have to listen to that voice in the head.
Will you have a bad day and go completely off the rail? Great! Now you know that when you have one bad day, you can say goodbye, don’t look back or guilt and return right on the way.
Will you give up though you really really want to go? Great! It happens to all of us when the motivation would not be sought after several weeks. Think about Adding Ulysses Pact Store from weakness or to bet with a friend to be responsible.
NF coach Matt Miers was recently on Mental Golf Podcast with Josh Nichols – And lasting 24:30 in the episode, Matt announced something for Josh that surprised him:
“You told me before you started,” I know I’m going to get out of the gate hard, but about 3 weeks inside, I’ll spatter and disappear. ” “
And I said, “Thanks for notifying me,” I had all these tools and warnings ready to apply with you about 21 days more times! “
Josh had self-awareness to know where he fucked in the future, he and coach Matt planned for it and shifted the bushes.
They have been working together for two months (and counting), and Josh just missed only one day in the application and missed one day did not cause Josh common “all-or-nothing” behavior!
This time can be different
We all started to change, and even when we are self-conscious …
We often bite me more than we can chew:
Our goals and hopes often exceed the reality of being the wrong, busy, complicated people living unpredictable lives.
That’s fine!
If we are aware of these things, if we can try different … then even if it is next The attempt does not work either, we can remove that strategy from the list of potential successful paths and try again.
That’s all that’s life anyway: try, fail, set, restart.
