The 3 Enemies Of New Year Resolutions 55

Dear Friends,

How’s this for an eye-opening statistic?

Stud­ies show that a whop­ping  88 per­cent of peo­ple who make New Year Res­o­lu­tions fail to accom­plish them. In fact, most peo­ple already give up on them before Valentine’s Day!

We’re almost at the end of Jan­u­ary, so I must ask you…

How are yours com­ing along?

Have you cut down on or stopped a bad habit like drink­ing, smok­ing or snack­ing?
Have you began to lose those extra pounds?
Have you started learn­ing that new hobby, or build­ing the foun­da­tions for that new business?

I hope you’re doing bet­ter than most peo­ple, because if there’s one thing many of us are good at, it’s mak­ing excuses!

How many times have you heard some­one — or even your­self — say­ing some­thing along the lines of…

It’s still early in the year, I’ve got plenty time to catch up.“
“It’s too dif­fi­cult. Who am I try­ing to kid?“
“I’m not going to force it. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.”

Even worse, some of us don’t even bother mak­ing an excuse! We just sweep them under the car­pet and try our best to for­get them.

But really, you’re not just sweep­ing your res­o­lu­tion under the car­pet — you’re also sweep­ing away any hopes of becom­ing a bet­ter per­son.

So why does this hap­pen to so many peo­ple?

Let me tell you the truth — every bro­ken New Year Res­o­lu­tion always boils down to at least one of the fol­low­ing reasons…

I call them ‘The 3 Ene­mies of New Year Resolutions’:

1. You are not 100% com­mit­ted to tak­ing mas­sive action

2. You don’t know where to start

3. You don’t have the right tools to get you started

Now I’m going to let you in on a lit­tle secret…

One of my New Year Res­o­lu­tions was to help you achieve yours
:)

And that’s why over the next cou­ple of days, I’m going to tell you exactly what you need to do to take down these ‘Ene­mies’, and finally start achiev­ing your New Year Resolutions.

(And trust me, it’s a lot eas­ier than you might think!)

We’re going to start with the first step…

I need you to make a com­mit­ment.

In the com­ments sec­tion below, write down your list of New Year Res­o­lu­tions. They can be as big or as lit­tle as you want them to be — as long as you are 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing them.

Start your com­ment with the fol­low­ing line:

Burt, I am 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing the fol­low­ing New Year Res­o­lu­tions by Decem­ber 31, 2010″

And then, just con­tinue writ­ing down your res­o­lu­tions in a num­bered list.

Can’t wait to hear from you :)

Sin­cerely,

Burt

Burt, thanks for the idea. I have been a big advo­cate of writ­ing things down.But when I read your New Years Res­o­lu­tion idea, I hit upon a very sim­ple res­o­lu­tion: I am com­mit­ted to paint­ing on porce­lain 3x per week for a total of 10 hours.

Before, I always made my inten­tion imprac­ti­cal by say­ing to myself: I am going to paint every day for 2 hours.…Then life hap­pens and I don’t get around to it. This way I have flex­i­bil­ity while main­tain­ing con­sis­tency. sim­ple and doable and it excites me. thanks Burt

jean v. says

i think that we all try to do things at the wrong time. the New Year is really not dif­fer­ent from any other day. If one is in tune with the uni­verse, you know that there are days when things go smooth and oth­ers where all forces are work­ing against you. Rather than focus on one day (Jan. 1st) why not align your res­o­lu­tions when you match the rhythm of the uni­verse and it’s like rid­ing a bike with a tail wind. I have res­o­lu­tions all year long at dif­fer­ent dates but only when the tim­ing is right. After all the most impor­tant thing is to suc­ceed with your res­o­lu­tions, not some ran­dom date. Your thoughts please. Jean V,

I am 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing the fol­low­ing New Year Res­o­lu­tion by Decem­ber 31, 2010

donna says

I stopped mak­ing res­o­lu­tions long ago, because the blame I heaped upon myself sec­ondary to the inevitable fail­ure, was unbearable.

Every day I strive to be a bet­ter per­son. Every day I strive to be a health­ier per­son. Every day I strive to be a kinder, more com­pas­sion­ate person.

2010 will bring me suc­cess in my weight goals. 2010 will bring me suc­cess in find­ing love. 2010 will bring me an abun­dance of wealth.

And as a per­sonal mes­sage to you Burt… My sis­ter pur­chased the Mind Box for me as I was des­per­ate for “some­thing” to help with my emo­tional state of mind — menopause, hav­ing feel­ings for some­one that didn’t pan out, etc. Although I feel as if I’ve jumped into the mid­dle of some­thing with the Mind Box (hav­ing never med­i­tated before, not really being com­pletely aware of any of the mate­r­ial the Mind Box cov­ers), I know with all my heart and soul that it was worth every penny. My emo­tions, although still some­what raw at times as I have always been an incred­i­bly emo­tional per­son, are bet­ter con­trolled because of the med­i­ta­tions. I don’t lis­ten to them daily, and have not lis­tened to them all, but will eventually.

Thank you for shar­ing your knowl­edge with the world at large, and for help­ing me be a bet­ter per­son — phys­i­cally, spir­i­tu­ally and emotionally.

Douglas Ross says

Burt, I am 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing the fol­low­ing New Year Res­o­lu­tions hop­fully before Decem­ber 31, 2010:

3. Plan to start writ­ing new books and plays in 2011.

Susan says

Hello Burt

I only made one res­o­lu­tion this year and that was to try and get my life back on track as my part­ner of 5 years wanted to split because he wanted chil­dren. I have now bought your Mind­Box CD’s and am involved with Mind­Val­ley. Hope­fully by the end of 2010 I will be in a much hap­pier place emo­tion­ally as the Mind­box series is just what I have been look­ing for. Many thanks, you are an inspiration.

David says

I didn’t make any New Year’s Res­o­lu­tions this year. I made mas­sive changes to my life in early December/late Novem­ber. I am cur­rently in my 6th week of not smok­ing cig­a­rettes (I am using the patch). I started exer­cis­ing 3 times a week in Novem­ber, and since I started learn­ing about Qigong, through Finer Minds, it has become more fre­quent. Burt, you are par­tially respon­si­ble for my dis­cov­ery of Qigong, so thank-you very much. Since I learned how to med­i­tate I have been med­i­tat­ing every day, and some­times 2 or 3 times in a day. Actu­ally, Burt, it may be pos­si­ble for me to trace all these changes back to you, in one way or another. So it seems, you are very awe­some! I always thought you were pretty wise, but now I think even more highly of you. Thanks again!

Etelka says

Thank you for car­ing and guiding,and hold­ing us account­able to ourselves.I never make New Years res­o­lu­tions, know­ing that I won’t fol­low through,I will make the excuses. We all are aware of some of our weaknesses,but don’t have the dis­ci­pline to work on our strenghts.One month of the New year is almost gone, but I believe any­one can start a new, more effi­cient, more pro­duc­tive, more suc­cess­ful, more bal­anced way of life any day of the year. It’s never too late, as long as we are com­mit­ted to actu­ally doing it day in and day out.
So here are my goals:
1. Loose 30 lb. by May 21,2010, by excer­cis­ing, eat­ing healthy, giv­ing up binge eat­ing, and choco­late.
2.Learn online about a more effi­cient use of my com­puter.
3.Read every day.
4.Write every day.
5.Stop wast­ing time on addic­tive com­puter games.
6.Stop mak­ing excuses for not fol­low­ing up on goals.
7.Celebrate the good feel­ing of achieve­ment at the end of each week by lis­ten­ing to my favorite music for 1 hour every Sunday.

Otis says

Hazel, i really liked what you said. But to not have a glass of wine after din­ner every other week? Even Paul in the Bible says a glass of wine is healthy for you and good for your metab­o­lism and diges­tion. I agree. Don’t believe in giv­ing up any­thing that is good for us. My res­o­lu­tion always is TO SURVIVE. Thus far i have always kept it. Ha! If i am ever not around, i wont even know that i failed. So far i have a per­fect bat­ting aver­age. Ha!

Susan says

I am 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing the fol­low­ing New Year Res­o­lu­tion by Decem­ber 31, 2010.

1. Loose the 5# I gained over the hol­l­i­days
2. Get in bet­ter shape
3. Get rid of the extra belly fat. (My weight is fine and my fat per­cent­age is great but I need more lean mus­cle and less fat around the mid­dle.
4. Con­tinue to get health­ier. (I lost 35 pounds last year and am still within 30 pounds of that after 6 months)
5. Find some­thing to do that will make my life more interesting.

Hazel says

Hi Burt,

I am com­mit­ted to achieved all my goals and New Years res­o­lu­tion before end­ing Decem­ber 2010.

1) My once in every other week glass of wine after din­ner should be cut off.

2) Avoid stress­ing myself out when bieng accused of an alco­holic per­son when all I could man­age is no more than two glasses of red occa­sion­ally and couldn’t even take the hard one.

3) Avoid enter­tain­ing those naysay­ers that doesn’t even know me.

4) I could loss a pound but not more than two for I could look like an under weight then.

5) Focus my mind and time with my hobby par­tic­u­larly when I’m writing.

6) Change my atti­tude of impul­sive reac­tion about inap­pro­pri­ate com­ments and criticism.

7) I have to help myself, so I could be effec­tive on things that I am sup­posed to be doing.

8) Encour­age to push myself to take action often.

Burt, I am 100% com­mit­ted to achiev­ing the fol­low­ing New Year Res­o­lu­tions by Decem­ber 31, 2010.

1. Drink less.

2. Save more.

3. Have more fun with my writing.

It’s kinda funny. At first, I was over-committed to los­ing weight, and I dieted wrong, lost all my energy, and gained weight. On the other hand, I didn’t com­mit to drink­ing less, but as it turned out, I’m down to drink­ing only once a week. I think hav­ing no energy stole all my desire to drink. Any­way, I’m diet­ing cor­rectly again and los­ing the weight. Still doing well on the drink­ing, too.
