Look at your ‘buts’!
It’s been a strange start to 2010, don’t you think? New Year’s Day was a beautiful sunny day, inspiring new thoughts, perfect for setting goals and making New Years resolutions. Then it snowed and then it snowed some more. Did you fall into the ‘oh well no need to start my resolutions till the snow’s gone club’? If you did you’re not alone. I spoke to someone last week who had put on 7lbs ‘because of the snow’. It’s time to forgive yourself, get started and move on.
What does 2010 hold for you? More importantly, what do you want it to hold for you? This year as you write down your goals, ask youself what’s stopped you from achieving this goal before? An easy way to check is to reread your goals or resolutions, read them out load. I wonder if when you reread your goal you hear yourself adding an imaginary ’but’ to the end of the sentence. If you do, that could be because you’re limiting youself. We stop ourselves from doing what we want to do with all kinds of reasons. “I’m too tall”, “I’m too old”, “I’m too busy”, the list goes on. So revisit your goals and have a look at your “buts”. Ask yourself if these “buts” are true or just false reasons. Once you understand yourself more you’ll get better results. Let me know how it goes.
