New Year Resolution Tingi by Bsorlah

When I began to see  personal messages, display pictures, and status updates with such messages as,  "its almost time for that new year, new me B******t".  "I'm gonna be dumping some people this year", etc, my attention was caught,  my heart drawn and my pen suddenly became Inseparable with my paper.

Then I asked myself what the ideology behind a resolution is all about.

Join me on this ride as I share my ideology.

Just for clarity purpose,

A resolution is said to be 'a firm decision to do or not to do something. i.e the act of solving a problem or contentions matter'.

Aside the above definition,  I choose to see a resolution as 'the act/ decision to either change or advance in/on certain things/areas.

On this basis, let us have a throwback.

Two years ago (2012), I told myself I would avoid doing certain things. Only a week into the new year, I had done the same things over and again. Strangely, I changed and advanced more in those things that needed change in but left them pending.

That moment, I realized that for a resolution to fall in place, these things have to be understood and there has to be a willingness to carry them out.

1) The price attached to the advancement you require : This is the point where you consider your gain or loss as a result of executing that thing on your list.

2) The sacrifice to pay for letting go : This is the point you feel hurt and you miss that part of you that you need to advance in. They say "No pain, No gain".

3) The things on your list have to be very important to you :  When everything on your list matters so much to you, it doesn't matter the pain you feel,  you just want it to work it out and right.

So keeping a resolution isn't a bad thing at all.  It all depends on how you see it and you readiness to make it work.

It is said that whatever we set our minds to achieve, we achieve. Make your list and see it through. Nothing is impossible.

Watch out for the new series;
"My Heart, My pride"

Tip to help you achieve your new year resolutions

If your New Year's resolutions from last year have
gone unresolved, you're not alone. Now a new year
offers another opportunity to achieve your goals,
and these Five tips should help you keep to your
New Year's resolutions.
1. Make it something you really want. Don't make it
a resolution that you "should" want or what other
people tell you to want. It has to fit with your own
values.
"Put some thought into it," says Richard O'Connor,
author of "Happy at Last: The Thinking Person's
Guide to Finding Joy." And avoid knee-jerk New
Year's resolutions, he says. "I encourage people
not to make cheap resolutions, but to save it for
something meaningful."
2. Limit your list to a number you can handle. "It's
probably best to make two or three resolutions that
you intend to keep," says O'Connor. That way,
you're focusing your efforts on the goals you truly
want.
3. Be specific. "To be effective, resolutions and
goals need to be pretty specific," says O'Connor.
Jettison the amorphous "exercise more," in favor of
"I'm working out at the gym Monday, Wednesday
and Friday at 5:30 p.m."
4. Automate. Automating financial goals can
maximize your odds for success without you having
to do anything, says Keith Ernst, director of
research for the Center for Responsible Lending in
Durham, N.C.
If your goal is to save $3,000 this year, calculate
the amount out of each check, then arrange to have
it automatically deposited into your savings account
each time you get paid, says Ernst.
5. Make a plan. Rather than stating one daunting
goal, create a series of smaller steps to reach it.
"Have an action plan," O'Connor says. "Figure out
exactly what you want to do."
If you need immediate rewards, here's a
suggestion. "Ask yourself: What are the short-term
goodies?" says Susan Wilson, co-author of "Goal
Setting: How to Create an Action Plan and Achieve
Your Goals."
For example, if you want to exercise regularly and
love spending time with your friends, getting the
group together to walk regularly could give you a
short-term payoff and help you meet the long-term goals.
