So please, just relax, you've come to the right place. Just read on, take in and let yourself get inspired :-)
The Right Mind Frame for Setting Motivational Resolutions
According to surveys about every second person makes New Years resolutions. Yes, if you start counting you will quickly realize that that will surmount to quite a lot of people worldwide.
The most common type of resolution regards improvement of personal health, or more precisely, losing weight.
As we all know resolutions are very easy to make; you just think of something you want be, achieve or do and then you say it!
But actually keeping resolutions is another story altogether.
I mean, if people actually managed to keep their resolutions the world would probably be another place, look quite a bit differently, and perhaps be somewhat lighter both in spirit ... and probably also in weight!
So before you ambitiously start launching all your top desired New Year wishes for yourself for the upcoming year, we recommend that you quickly read this guide on how to come up with, pick and phrase your New Year resolutions.
The goal of this guide is to help you keep your New Years promises by mentally preparing you BEFORE you actually decide what this year's resolution will be.
The Motivational New Year Resolutions Guide
Here are a few points that are well worth going through before you formulate your resolution.
Because as you will discover, it is not only the content that is important. The exact wording and phrasing plays a big role in terms of how your consciousness deals with the New Year resolution.
Ready, okay, here a good New Year resolution guideline in four simple steps that will help you keep your New Year wishes:
Step 1:
Think of something positive you actually WANT rather than something negative you want to AVOID!
"Right!", you may think, "Thanks for this $10.000 dollars worth enlightenment!"
Well, yes, I agree the above headline may sound like an obvious statement, but I assure you, it is not!
Far from it!
To your consciousness there is a very big difference between what we here will term 'going towards' and 'going away from'.
You see, your consciousness is much, much more motivated to achieving and fulfilling rather than escaping and running away from.
This may sound rather cryptic and probably resembles some pink New Age fluff leftover your parents proclaimed back in 1968. However, it is true!
The simple key to making lasting New Years resolutions is that you in your phrasing keep the perspective in your New Year resolution 100% positive and boil it down to what it is you really want.
To give you a few examples of common New Year resolutions that actually are 'negative' in their phrasing, take a look at these:
- I want to quit smoking!
- I want to lose weight!
Recognize these types of New Year wishes?
Probably you do!
But do you know the spiritual reason why they are so difficult to keep?
It is because they are not motivating for your consciousness. They are negatively loaded ("quit" and "lose"). There is no positive 'carrot' (or goal) for your consciousness to strive towards so to speak.
In other words, you don't WANT to quit smoking! You don't WANT to lose weight!
No, what you really WANT in this case is to the be healthy.
That is the real goal!
So what you want say is probably something along the lines of:
- I want to help my body being the healthiest and happiest it can be. I want my lungs to be clean, healthy and optimal.
- I want to help my body being the healthiest and happiest it can be. I want my body to be well balanced and I will give it healthy food and use it well physically.
You see the difference in energy?
With these phrases, you actually create a goal that is motivating for your consciousness! Something that is both positive and makes sense unconsciously.
Your resolutions for New Year have to make sense unconsciously otherwise you might quickly forget them or lose motivation.
Step 2:
Keep It Simple! Have only one 'big' New Year Resolution!
In order to prevent failure for yourself and sense of your self esteem, try to avoid being overly ambitions and spraying out lots of unattainable goals.
If what you really want requires real effort in terms of actual lifestyle change, it may be wise to only have one New Year wish.
Thus be nice to yourself and take your time with your precious choice!Carefully read through step 1 and think about your phrasing it so that your sub consciousness will take care of most of the heavy lifting. :-)
Step 3:
Include You Loved Ones for Support in Your New Year Wish! New Year Wish!
If you choose to embark on a journey of making big changes in your life, unconditional support is invaluable.
When you choose the people to tell about your New Year resolutions, think about who you will feel most comfortable, uplifting and empowering in confiding in when times are Consider choosing people who will make you WANT to continue improving your life.
Step 4:
Reward Your Ego for Keeping Your New Year Resolutionew Year Resolution
In step 1 we focused on rewarding what we may call your higher being. This is the most important and basic aspect of yourself to reward. No doubt about that!
However, e.g. eating healthily it may not feel all that motivating in your everyday life. Especially not in the beginning!
Here you might need a more concrete reward that may work as a 'carrot' for keeping your higher, more beneficial resolution.
So you may inspire yourself by saying, "When I have kept my New Year resolution, I will ... ", for instance: go on a weekend holiday somewhere nice, buy myself that thing that I've wanted for ages or whatever you really desire (which is within your financial means of course).
A List of Big Positive and Motivating New Years Resolutions

So, as we all know, beauty is a theory of diverse relativity so when I have cured my hair of unruly static electricity I will practice sticking out my tongue more while I at the same say in a (sexy, hoarse voice of course): "Thermodynamic fluctuations", "principle of equivalence" and "adiabatic invariance".
