Create Positive Change
Not New Years Goals…
Change has to be when you are ready to change, not simply because the New Year is coming.
Whether you’d like to create a specific change now, or a list of things to focus on next year, the below steps will make it easier for you to define, clarify, challenge and support yourself.
1. Define what you don’t want – it’s not negative to be clear on what you don’t want. It’s necessary in weeding out the things that you simply aren’t willing to compromise on or live with, through previous experience or personal values.
2. Be clear on what you do want – once you know what you don’t want it makes it a whole lot easier to then focus on what you do want in your life. Completing a Needs Assessment is a very helpful tool in getting very clear on what you want.
3. Ask yourself why these changes are important to you – list as many benefits and reasons as you can. That way when someone asks or the going gets tough, you’ll know exactly why you’re making changes in your life because it will be clear in your mind.
[Tweet “You can’t very well make positive change if you don’t feel positive about changing.”]4. Listen to your thoughts – find out where there may be limiting beliefs holding you back from creating positive change. Perhaps you’ve tried before many times and now believe it’s just too hard, you’re a failure, or you don’t deserve to feel happy.
Challenge these beliefs. Are they really true, or simply fears you’re remembering or entertaining? Wherever they’ve come from, choose to replace them with the beliefs that will help you create the positive changes that you want in your life NOW.
5. Plan the steps required to take you from this point to that – Set a clear goal and give it a realistic time frame to attain. Break your goals down into daily, weekly and monthly goals and start by making small but important changes every day.
If you do nothing, nothing will change. But you’ll be surprised how just one small act of conscious change every day can create a whole lot of positive change in other areas of your life.
How will you measure your progress? A diary, energy levels, a group, a coach…
