New Years Resolutions
With the New Year comes New Years Resolutions and around this time of the month peoples motivation tend to lose momentum.
Usually come January 1 people have declared an overt goal like wanting to lose weight, wanting to change jobs, or wanting a different kind of relationship. These are outer directed goals, but with each outer goal there is a deeper inner motivation for wanting to achieve the goal or change. That is sometimes referred to as a covert goal. For example a person may want to double their salary but the core motivation is they want increased freedom, security, and power.
Once a person taps into the covert driving force or reason for wanting the change then and only then will they get sustainable results. Once you tap into this true agenda you can create action steps, move forward, and most importantly have lasting results.
Asking yourself the following questions will help you tap into the core motivation for wanting any change you may desire.
1. What is missing from the current situation and why is it desired and important? Put another way, what has remaining unchanged costing you? For example, if you are over weight you may be missing the ability to run around with your children because you lack the energy or get easily winded. This has cost you valuable bonding time with your children.
2. How do you benefit from remaining the same? For example if your goal is to stop smoking you may benefit from continued smoking because you enjoy the social time that you and your peers have while sharing a cigarette.
3. What costs are to be paid in order to make the change? For example, you may want to change jobs but you may have to take a pay cut to do so.
4. What are the benefits for the desired change and why? For example, changing relationships may provide you with and increased sense of freedom and that freedom is important to you because your partner is very over protective.
After answering these 4 questions in as much detail as you can you will have a better idea of why you really want to change (or not) and what it will take to reach your desire goal.
GOOD LUCK!!
