What Will Make Your Heart Sing?

This was plastered all over a website announcing a huge, nationwide initiative.  How would you answer the question?

What does make your heart sing?  Some people may respond:

“To win the lottery!”  Or, “go on a dream vacation.”optical amplifier

 The more I think about the question, I am concluding that our hearts are always singing something:

*excitement

*anticipation

online casino*busy-ness

*disappointment

*awe

*resentment

*fear

*regret

*joy

And the list goes on.  Just take a moment to think about:

What are you singing- today?  This hour?

The people in your life, what do you perceive they are “singing?”

 
Maybe additional questions to ponder are:

Do I like the song my heart sings?  If not, what would I be willing to change in my “tune”?

 Warmly,

3 Proven Steps to Keep New Year Resolutions Past January 1: Step 3

Step 3Benefit from Accountability

Once you have developed a SMART plan add a healthy dose of accountability.  Accountability means to be answerable.  In what ways will you be answerable?  What benchmarks can you add to the SMART plan that will help you stay the course?  Who will truly partner with you, with healthy care and concern, to hold you accountable?  Accountability is the ingredient for continued focus when the plan doesn’t work as you thought.  And of equal importance, accountability is a catalyst for celebration in reaching the milestones!

 Making new year resolutions last past January 1st requires being intentional.  By following these three steps you get to design a unique plan and create a deliberate way for it to happen – that best fits you.  There is margin and forethought given to potential obstacles that can derail the process and celebration of the accomplishments.  By using this process you move past that defeated “why bother, I never keep them” attitude.  With this proven process, resolutions can happen all year round – in your life, business, and career – not only December 31st!

3 Proven Steps to Keep New Year Resolutions Past January 1: Step 2

Step 2  Paint The Big Picture

Once we throw the gauntlet in the sand and commit to do something about our resolution, we are gripped with the fear of “how”?  This is where the rubber meets the road.  The plan needs to be worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of the resolution.  This requires work on your part!  Beware of anyone offering you the “5 Easy Steps” at this point.  Your plan is dependent upon you – where you are in life; what your home, family, and work environments are like; what motivates you; what you can anticipate as obstacles; influence of past accomplishments; how far you are willing to go past your comfort zone; etc.  A plan that follows the SMART format (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) is invaluable to making the resolution real.

Warmly,
