Resolutions 2.0

Whether you make resolutions for the New Year, or establish goals for yourself year-round, maybe it’s time to add another step to your process - reflection. What will determine whether a goal you set is one that sticks, or is just something you intend to do (and ultimately don’t), is the skill of noticing.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

If you've done your resolved behavior...

• What worked about this and why?
• What could have gone wrong that you managed to avoid?
• How does doing this make you feel? Is that better than you felt before you did it, worse, or the same?
• What else has become possible for you since trying out this new behavior?
• Is this the only way to get these results, or do you want to try out any other behaviors?
• Which people or situations are a particular challenge for you?
• Do you want to continue to do this? 

If you haven't done it...

• What have been the consequences of not doing this? Are these consequences you can live with?
• What was your original reason for wishing to do it?        

Best of luck with all of your 2015 resolutions and Happy New Year!
