New Year Resolutions
[NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS'HOW TO MAKE THEM]
I am an avid New Year's Resolutions writer! In fact, I write
them often. May be two or three times in a year. My success rate
with them is mixed. I am more or less disciplined and hard
working person. So I keep on pushing ahead. But my Resolutions
are too ambitious, you may say impractical, to be fulfilled. For
example, I may write during this year I will write 3 novels,
three non-fiction books, 50 articles, 50 short stories, and 50
poems. At the end of the year, I may not have completed even a
single novel, a single non-fiction book, and written only a few
articles, short stories, and poems.

My experience with New Year Resolutions has taught me some
lessons which I am sharing with you.
1.Don't leave New Year Resolutions for the last moment to write!
If you do, on the last day of the year you may end up hurriedly
writing down something not better than a shopping list. Spend
some time and energy in writing them. At the same time, if you
fail to write them before the New Year starts, don't think that
now it is too late. Write in the first week of the year or
later. It is better writing late than never. 2.Before writing
about the New Year and future, cast a glance at the old year and
the past. How was the old year? Did you keep your resolutions?
If yes, to what extent? If not, why? Given another chance, how
would you plan and live the old year. Have a vision of the
future. How would you like to see yourself after one year or
thereafter? Base your resolutions on this analysis. 3.Write down
what you really want to do, not what is routine, customary, or
fashionable. If you have no inner urge to reduce weight or quit
smoking, it is no use resolving to do so. 4.Make New Year
Resolutions a vehicle for change. While we are comfortable with
status quo, we want to change our life too. Everybody thinks
that he is in a rut. He or she would have been happier in
another job, in different circumstances, in new places. But we
fear change. Don't just foolhardily jump into change, but plan
for it. 5.Plan for new and exciting things in life. Learn
something new'dancing, playing a musical instrument, a new
language, tennis, web-designing, or writing poetry. If you have
never loved, love. It is an exciting thing. If you are in love,
get married. It is intoxicating. 6.Write down specific goals
rather than general. Instead of writing, 'I will reduce weight,'
specify how many pounds or kilograms you want to reduce within
which period and by what means. So write, during the year I will
reduce my weight by 30 pounds. I will aim at reducing 10 pounds
every quarter (so that I have some extra time towards the
year-end). I will regulate my diet (be specific about diet too),
will exercise or play some game, go for morning or evening walk,
start yoga, and lead an active life. 7.Break down bigger whole
year aims to smaller quarterly and monthly aims. In fact, each
week write down the aim for that week also. Of course, also keep
a daily to-do list (to be written at the start of the day or one
day in advance). Revise the monthly and quarterly targets in the
light of progress made and aims abandoned and new aims added. In
fact, write down a continually evolving list of to-do for the
year. Whatever you want to do in the year, just add to this list
and do when the right time comes. 8.Supplement the Resolutions
list with other lists: Daily Prayer in which you may pray to God
for giving you happiness, success, and health, etc. Daily
Affirmations, in which you may use the power of affirmations.
Daily Do's in which you may fix your daily routine which may be
helpful in fulfilling your Resolutions, Daily Don'ts, things you
should not do. 9.Use positive power! Most of our resolutions
fail because they are about negatives rather than positives. We
want to reduce weight or quit smoking, or drinking. But all
these are negatives. We will surely be defeated fighting against
them. Instead, if we decide to start playing tennis, it would be
a positive thing. Little by little we will get interested in it.
We will get addicted to it. We will not be able to stay at home
when it is playtime, whether it is at 5 a.m. or 5 p.m. We will
have to go when our partner calls us. If we are over-weight, we
will jog, eat less and sensibly. If we get fatigued easily, we
will quit smoking and drinking. We would like to be at the top
of our tennis team! We will reduce weight, quit smoking and
drinking easily (because our game of tennis demands it!).
10.Don't abandon all Resolutions on slight failure! One of the
main reasons why diets are abandoned is 'All or Nothing'
attitude. If we fail to follow the diet for one day or eat too
much one day, we consider that we have failed and abandon the
resolution. The same is true of our resolution about quitting
smoking or drinking. 11.If your resolutions break down, and they
will and should now and then, for example, when you are
celebrating something, when you are honeymooning, when you are
meeting some deadline, restart the resolutions. Similarly,
periodically evaluate the progress, even make changes. A year is
a long period; reexamine your life every three months. 12.Don't
forget the unwritten premises! When we write our Resolutions we
concentrate what we want to achieve in worldly sense. But we
fail to mention other important things in life, like: I will be
happy, I will love my family, and I will enjoy nature, etc.
These unwritten resolutions are more important than the written
ones. If we fulfill them and even fail at achieving the written
aims, we have still won. If we succeed at both, that is superb!

I do not smoke, never have, and admit to being one of those
'pain in the butts' (OK, bad pun!) that go on about the foul
stench, and anti-social behaviour of smokers, especially in
public places.
You can imagine my joy when one of my local pubs recently banned
smoking. Shortly after the ban had come into force I spotted a
guy poised with cigarette in hand, and was about to get huffy

Using subliminal messages as a tool to help you quit smoking is an excellent idea if you have been struggling with a nicotine addiction, and need an extra boost to make that nasty habit disappear from your life. Subliminal messages can't make you quit, but they can help you reach a point where your willpower becomes stronger than your addiction.

industrial efficiency have to do with self improvement? Can it
be adapted to self-work? What is it, anyhow?
It began with the "continuous improvement" theories of

the war the ideas were picked up by the Japanese and developed

You may have begun to see signs for a "Stop Smoking Shot," but is it a miracle or just another scam designed to part you from your money? Maybe you've tried acupuncture, the patch, nicotine gum, fake cigarettes, hypnotism and every other trick in the book, but are you ready for this?

Imagine waking up in the morning and not wanting that first

What if you could actually go to a non-smoking restaurant and
enjoy your meal without having to go outside and take a few

Wouldn't it feel good not having to pay the astronomical prices
for one pack of "cancer sticks?"
You are not alone!
