Self Improvement Tips: 7 For The New Year
The New Year is here, and everyone is rushing to make their
resolutions. Are you among them? Self improvement is often a
favorite resolution, and rightfully so. To that end, here are
seven self improvement tips to help you start the New Year with
a bang.
1. Keep your self talk positive. Make it a resolution to do away
with negative self-talk this year. No more "I can't" and more "I
can". Positive self talks automatically programs you to head in
the direction of success.
2. Stay dressed for success too. A new haircut or a fresh shave
and decent looking clothes will create a positive and energetic
air around you. This works even on those days you aren't feeling
at your best.
3. Stand straight and tall. If you're going to think positive
and dress positive, stand up like you mean it. Sloppy posture is
a sign of weakness. Keep that back straight on your path to
success this year.
4. Set specific goals. Instead of "I want to lose weight this
year", you should write down "I want to loose 10 pounds in the
next 2 months." The mind can help your body reach specific goals
much more effeciently than vague suggestions.
5. Post your plans. Keep your plans and specific goals written
and posted where you can see them every day. Take time to read
and review them on a regular basis. Cross off those goals you
reach and those plans that have succeeded. Keep reviewing and
adding to your list so you will continue moving forward.
6. Share your goals. If you are married or in a relationship,
make sure to share your goals and plans for this year with your
partner. Mutual support and understanding can not only help your
reach your destination faster, but it can also add a extra level
of trust and intimacy to your relationship.
7. Take time to enjoy the fruits of your effort. Find a way to
celebrate when you have reached any of the self improvement
goals you have set out for the new year. Reward adds more value
to your efforts and increases your motivation to continue.
