Turning Resolutions into Real Solutions

In this week's Moving Forward Monday it's time to re-examine the plans we made for our new year.

Welcome to the 2nd month of 2018! Last month many of us spent some time thinking about what we wanted this year. And even if you didn't announce your New Year's Resolutions or officially take the time to create goals, you probably have some idea of what you want 2018 to look like. Well, how's it shaping up?

If it's on track, that's awesome! Keep it up! But if you're like most people, by now you are realizing the flaws in your original declaration - whether it was setting unrealistic goals, choosing a temporary motivation, or failing to create a plan at all. If that's you, then we're here to help. You can still turn those Resolutions into Real Solutions, and Bruce Pulver, author of Above the Chatter, Our Words Matter, shares some thoughts designed to get us moving.

Turn your resolutions into real solutions. Resolutions can fade after the initial inspiration leaves, energy diminishes, and obstacles emerge. Let’s drop the word resolutions and make them… REAL SOLUTIONS

Resolve to own the work

Embrace it will be hard

Allow only affirmations

Look for incremental wins

Stay away from naysayers

Orient to the new you

Lean on others who lift you

Use success visions

Take setbacks to rebound

Insistence no resistance

Onward always

New you is true you

See stumbles as steps

So this week, if you realize you haven't created the plan you want or you're simply not getting real results in your life, stop now and take the time to reset your goals, create a plan, and live your life deliberately. And for Fishbowl Members - ask us about our Goal Setting for Success workshop that will give you the tools to accomplish your big, harry, audacious goals in this year and in life!
