Wish You a Happy 2007 !
Mary: "I am still thinking of one."
John: "New Year resolutions invariably get broken, I was just wondering why to go through it and then see it broken by the end of the year."
This was a joke I read recently in one of the newspaper.
Once again it is time to bid adieu to the old year and usher in the new year. Once again it is time to resolve to achieve something great, quit some vices and feel great and talk about what we resolved. The unfortunate part is that in about 99 of the 100 cases the resolution becomes just a formality and by the year end, the person is no way closer to what he planned to achieve.
Let us take a look at the language used in making a new year resolution: "I resolve to quit smoking this year", "I resolve to be nice to my wife in the new year", or "I resolve that I will take two weeks off this year for vacations"
If this is the language you use to make a new year resolution, it has a basic flaw. In order for the New Year resolution to succeed, it should get registered in your sub-conscious and the sub-conscious neither understands future tense nor past tense. The only tense it understands is the present continuous. Moreover, for successful programming of the sub-conscious the new year resolution has to be repeated every day at the same timing like everyday immediately after getting awake, after the bath, or before hitting the bed if not by the clock.
When stating the above resolutions in present continuous the first one becomes; "I have quit smoking and have become healthy. Now when I go up the staircase, my breathing remains normal. My pulse rate has become normal. I have also increased my monthly investments using the savings from cigarettes."
If you note, not only is the resolution stated in the above paragraph but also the benefits arising out of it. The programming of the sub-conscious becomes faster and results compounded if the benefits and feelings arising out of the fulfillment of the intention (resolution) is also stated along with the wish.
This year if you are determined to make your resolution a success, phrase it in present continuous tense, club it with the benefits you want to enjoy by its fulfillment and repeat it everyday, day by day, at fixed time. Your sub-conscious thus programmed is sure to find a way to fulfill it.
Happy New Year !!
