============================================ 5 Simple Tricks to Achieving Your New Year's Resolutions With the new year right around the corner, chances are good that you've thought about changing or improving something about your life. Perhaps dropping a bad habit and picking up a positive replacement. Whatever it is, the simple steps below will help you make it happen. From small changes to unbelievable achievements, this is your year for a happier, healthier, more successful life! 1. Get specific. A vague goal is as useful as no goal at all; general ideas about what you want give you nothing to work with and nowhere to go. It's only when you get specific about what you want that the path to success is revealed. Take time to narrow down your resolutions into specific ideas and transform your vague goals into crystal-clear objectives. 2. Spread the word. Don't keep your plans for improvement all to yourself. The more you share your goals with others, the more life and legs you give to those goals. It gives them the chance to grow and gain momentum. Before the New Year arrives, tell at least two other people about your goals, and be sure not to make the mistake of giving without receiving; spend just as much time listening to ideas as you did in sharing your own. 3. Buddy up. When it comes to living a better life, few things are as powerful or persuasive as a living, breathing human being. Books, tapes, etc. can help you along, but nothing can compare to live, one-on-one interaction. It's because of this fact that the buddy system is one of the most effective goal-achievement tools you can use. By partnering with a goal-seeker, you'll have all the support you need to achieve anything you set your mind to. ----- It takes just a one idea to get things moving in the right direction.

While preparing his next book, a famous writer listed his weight at fifty pounds lighter than reality. Not only that, but he did so knowing full well that only months after publication he would be paraded in front of thousands of his biggest fans. Why? To burn the bridge of easy escape. He knew he needed to lose the weight, but he also knew he would give up on the goal without any pressure to follow through. By promising his public a fifty-pound weight loss, he had no choice but to achieve the goal. What steps can you take today to burn the bridge of an easy escape and commit yourself to living a better life? 5. Do something - today. New Year's may be a few days away, but that doesn't mean you have to put off your goals until the moment arrives. As they say, there's no better time than the present, and when it comes to living a better life, they couldn't be more right. The true power of taking one small step comes not in the small step of progress you'll make, but in the act of doing something about the things you want. As you know, getting started is often the most difficult part of the process. Millions of people dream; few act. And that is why it is critical that you do something today. Think of one small step you can take right now that will bring you closer to accomplishing your goal and, once you have it in mind, do it. Don't think about it. Don't consider it. Do it. Put these steps to work with your New Year's resolutions and you'll have no problem turning your hopes and dreams into exciting realities. ----- PS.
