Building Your Self-Motivating Muscles
Do you often feel like your get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone? Do you get a burst of raw enthusiasm to start a new project only to have your drive to complete it fizzle out like a dud grenade? You are not alone. Self-motivation can be a tough skill to learn, one that must be constantly exercised.
Goal Setting in the New Year
Resolve to make actionable goals this year for yourself, not resolutions. Why? Because, typically, the stereotypical and generic New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier or sleep better are quickly forgotten by February due to their intangible nature. Let’s start off this year the right way. Forbes sets forth a realistic pathway for goal setting in their article “This New Year’s Set Goals, Not Resolutions.”
New Years Resolutions
Did you make a New Year’s resolution this year? As a followup question, do you actually remember what your resolution was last year? While following through on or even just making a New Year’s resolution isn’t by any means necessary, it is a nice little practice to try to harness the momentum of the calendar turning over and to use that power to shape ourselves into healthier and happier people.
