The problem with New Year’s Resolutions Each year millions of people make a list of resolutions for the New Year. They hardly ever work. Let’s explore a possible reason why they don’t work. Let’s say your resolution is to go to the gym 3x per week.  Based on the law of attraction you were attracted to not going to the gym.  To say my resolution is to go to the gym 3x per week is not enough.  To change the behavior you must look at the payoff or benefit you were receiving from not going to the gym.  Once you are willing to give up the payoff the resolution will be much more powerful.

Eric’s seatbelt story

You can quit biting your fingernails

You can get in the best shape of your life

You can become a person of health (I am doing this in 2014)

You can have a financial breakthrough

You can have great relationships with your family

You can have a great relationship with God

You can be a person of action

You can be organized

You can be great at time management

What thoughts will you have to give up in order to make these possibilities come true for you?

Yes, this will take work on your part but look at the alternative. Today, you are still in the same situation as last year since you have not made any change. Take action, make a change so your New Year’s resolution is about making a change towards your dream.
