Make Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick

Come February, the reality of the year sets in.
This is when our New Year’s resolutions can lose their sparkle.
It’s a common trap a lot of people fall into.
Safeguard yourself against this, revise & adjust your goals.
Adopt a sustainable approach for success.

6.

Define the right type of goal.
Identify success habits.
Develop daily rituals.
Surround yourself with the right people.
Adjust your inputs.
Raise your standards.

1. Define the right type of goal
• Review your goals - are they SMART?
• SMART in an acronym for:
•
•
•
•
•

Specific and Simple
Measurable
Aspirational
Realistic and Relevant
Time Stated

• Example:
• “By 1 July I will be in a job that brings me
happiness, rewards me for my contribution and
give me a sense of purpose.”

• Refine your goals to make them SMARTer.

2. Identify success habits
• Revisit your SMART goals.
• Who do you know that has achieved
them?
• Friends, family colleagues?
• Public figures, famous people?

• What habits have they developed to get
them where they are?
• Find out - research, discuss & observe.
• Take action - match & mirror these habits
on a daily basis.

3. Develop daily rituals
• Momentum is integral for success.
• Ritualising success habits helps achieve this.
• General examples:
• Review your goals as you brush your teeth.
• Express gratitude for your blessings in the shower.
• Walk bare foot on the grass for 10 minutes each day.

• Goal specific examples:
– if your goal was to develop your singing voice:
• Practice scales whilst getting dressed.
• Pour yourself a two litre jug of water to drink through the day.
• Practice your posture while in the car or public transport.

• Pick a handful of relevant success habits.
• Lock them into your daily routine.

4. Surround yourself with the
right people
• “Who you surround yourself with, you
become”.
• Is your network helping you become the
person that you want to be?
• If not, identify new social networks to
plug yourself into.
• Gradually spend more quality time with
like-minded people.
• Example:
– If your goal is around wellbeing:
• Join a meditation group or a yoga studio to meet new
people that you can support you on your journey.

5. Adjust your inputs
•
•
•
•

What are you feeding your mind and body?
Is it aligned with your vision of success?
Make conscious decisions each day.
Use your time wisely absorbing inputs that
move you towards your goal.
• Example:
– If you want to improve your cooking skills:
•
•
•
•

watch cooking shows.
read online foodie forums.
talk to friends about their favourite dishes.
exchange recipe ideas etc.

lifedesigned.com.au
6. Raise your standards
1.
2.
3.

You are where you are because of your standards.
To make improvements you have to lift them.
Examples:
• If you want to get out of debt - lift your game around
expenditure and savings.
• If you want to lose weight - do what it takes to make
exercise and healthful eating part of your lifestyle.
• If you want a promotion - do more than is expected of
you in your current role.

4.

Make an effort and break a sweat to get where
you want to go.
