WOW! It is 2023 in just a few days! We here at All Things Possible want to wish you a Happy New Year!!
Can you believe we are beginning a New Year already? A lot of us feel like it has taken a long time to get through all the challenges and feel “normal again, yet it seems like our rough year did go by quick!
How will you go into this new year and the opportunities that await you?
- Will you make Resolutions for this New Year?
- Are you ready for a New Year and a New You?
- Are you ready to do life differently?
- Will you accomplish your goals this year?
- Are you ready for it to be different and would you like to know “How to Make Your Resolutions Happen THIS YEAR?”
Every year we get to this point and our thoughts go to how we can have an incredible new year and how we will change ourselves for the better. We set out with good intentions and strive for excellence. Then we go about it the same way we have done in the past and fail to obtain our goals.
This year let’s do it differently and have different results! Let’s accomplish those aspirations and goals once and for all and have the SUCCESS we desire and know we can accomplish!
When you set “Resolutions”, you are planning to “resolve” the problem or fix it. That is good, just not powerful enough to get the response you may be wanting or looking for. Fixing it is great, to a point, but let me ask you this; “How many times have you set the same resolution just in a different year?” We tend to fall back on the same things that need improvement in our lives, falling into the same traps, often convincing ourselves that we are just not good at resolutions. The truth is that we need a more powerful way to feel the conviction to create the change we are seeking.
It is proven that 25% of the people who create resolutions actually quit within the first 7 days! Unbelievable, right? Let me share with you this: You are 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down. Yet in our society only 3% have written goals and only 1% in our entire society have written goals that they review daily and continuously! Interesting that we have the top 1% of our society make the most money and pay a huge percentage of our taxes. My question for you is this: “Have you written your goals down? Do you review them regularly?”
For many years we heard about “Affirmations”, and while I have used them and been successful with them, I know that they are literally “affirming and stating positively what you want to confirm.” What I found is that Declarations are a way to “formally declare an explicit statement or announcement”, and that becomes a lot more powerful to not only the Universe, but to ourselves! When we Declare that we are going to do something, we are far more committed to making sure that it happens.
Let me give you an example: We have been celebrating the
“Declaration of Independence” for 246 years on July 4th. That is not the day war broke out nor is it the day that the Declaration was signed. IT IS THE DAY THEY DECLARED THEM. We celebrate the day it was declared! We do not call it the “Affirmation of Independence” it is known everywhere as the “Declaration of Independence!”
I have found Declarations are extremely powerful and can result in phenomenal success. When we “Declare” something, it gives us a sense of ownership and power that we will accomplish it. It becomes real. We see it as happening and becoming what we want for ourselves. Declarations are powerful and believable. They allow us to get out of the “fix me” mode and into the “create me” mode into becoming the best things that we want for ourselves.
I break down the word “Declarations” into what I believe you must have in your declarations. There is power in these words and the reasoning behind them to create the declarations that will assist you to be successful. I want you to be successful in accomplishing what you set out to become and I feel it is especially important to have guidelines in place. Here is a bullet point list for you.
- Decision
- Evaluate
- Consistent
- Loyal to your beliefs
- Accountable
- Repetition
- Attainable
- Transformation
- Internalize
- Opening the Space
- Nurturing
- Start
Yes, when you take the first letter of each word you get the word “Declarations”, but there is more to this.
You can create your declarations for your new year and have the most successful year you have ever had! You really can make it happen this year! Here is a good way to start:
1. Use Positive statements (no negatives or words like want, will, am going to, etc.)
2. Speak in the first person
3. Speak them as if they have already happened
4. See yourself in accomplishment mentality to accomplish your goals
5. Start each statement with one of the following phrases:
- I am
- I create
- I release
- I inspire
- I love
- I trust
- I know
- I believe
- I live
- I empower
- I attract
6. Say them three times or more a day, ie: morning, noon, and night.
7. Hold your hand over your heart for more emphasis and to internalize them.
I love what Walt Disney says, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing!” Wouldn’t that be a great thing to do right now?
