We are going into a new year and it is on a lot of peoples mind about making changes in their lives. The first thing we think about is making a New Years Resolution. The problem with this concept is that we use this time to plan how we are going to make changes in our life, but, we don't realize that the changes we want to make, have been right in front of us, but since it has been the norm to pick a certain time of the year to make different plans and choices, we fail to think that we could have made these changes all along.
It takes a while to train our minds to do things differently, but I feel that we can use each day to start practicing things that would help us to accomplish the goals that we set out to. If you would like to stop smoking and you are smoking a pack a day, then you would take out 4 cigarettes out of a pack and each week subtract another cigarette or you could subtract 4 or 5 a month and over time you would be smoking less and less.
If you would like to save money then start saving a few dollars a week and do not spend it and at the end of the month you will see an increase and after 6 months you will get in the habit of saving because you will be so excited of what you could accomplish in a small amount of time. Saving will start to become second nature to you and when it comes time to put that money you saved towards a house or a vacation that you dreamed of, you will learn to appreciate what this practice of saving can do.
If you would like to lose weight then, you would start cutting back on food a few times a week and start exercising at least twice a week and you will start to develop habits that will give you the willpower and the discipline to continue long term.
So, you would like to start a small business but you don't have the money or the time to get things moving; I would suggest that you get books to learn more about this business you would like to start and talk to someone who is already in this business, and start to buy little supplies such as; pens, paper, books, shipping supplies and etc. This way you are not overwhelmed with the expenses. Start small and build and before you know it, you will be in the business that you dreamed of.
You would like to move to a new area, but, you are not sure how you will do it. Get on your computer and start researching the area that you are interested in. If you are just changing your apartment, then go to the apartment that you like, different parts of the day or night to get a feel of the neighborhood. Talk to people who live in the area or complex to see what they think about it. If you decide that this is the place that you want, then start buying boxes and making plans and give yourself a time limit on when you want to move and even if this takes you a year to do, you will be able to do this very easily.
What I am saying in this blog is; make changes everyday and you will be more successful than making New Years Resolutions.
Have a Happy New Year!
