Each year you set new goals, probably concerning weight loss or
stopping smoking. They’re certainly worthy goals and you really
mean to accomplish them but year after year the enthusiasm seems
to soon fade and the focus gets fuzzy and within a matter of
weeks (days?) those good intentions are just like your dirty
socks, thrown in a corner and forgotten. Here’s a little tactic
that can help you really achieve those new years resolutions and
more in 2005. Before I share this technique with you please
realize that your success or failure happens first and foremost
in your mind. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. If you can
keep excited about your goal you will be far more likely to
achieve it. So lets learn a simple mental strategy that can help
you get whatever you want. Think back over your life now.
Remember some time when you felt really successful, perhaps you
made a touchdown, maybe it is when your spouse said yes to
marriage, maybe you got an A on a test. It may be as simple as
your mother giving you a hug and saying how proud she was of
you. Anything will work as long as you felt really good about
yourself. As you imagine that event try to make the mental
picture as sharp as you can. See the colors, smell any smells
that might have been present hear the sounds, make that memory
as sharp as you are able. Allow yourself to feel the emotions
you felt. Feel that feeling of pride and accomplishment! Make
those feelings as strong as you can! Some people like to make
that positive experience into a circle in their minds then step
into that circle. However you handle your success memory you now
need to name it. As you are fully immersed in that success
memory you might say, “I’m a winner” or simply “success” Agree
with your self that you will re-enter this great feeling or
state whenever you say your key word to yourself. Now you have
anchored a success state in your mind. Most people can have two
or more of these prepared success anchors available to them at
all times. Now think about your desired behavioral change and
fire that anchor for success. Imagine yourself as a non-smoker
and as you do, fire that success state. In effect what you are
doing is overlaying that state of success, self-esteem,
accomplishment on to your new goal! Can you see how powerful
this is? Practice this at least three times a day and you’ll
probably find real success this year with your resolutions.
