Commitment to New Year’s Resolutions

At the beginning of each year, hope shines again because people feel that there is a chance for a new beginning, this leads some people to write down their New Year’s resolutions. A New Year’s resolution is a commitment that a person makes to change his life style to the better or to quit a bad habit.

Personally I think that the New Year’s resolutions idea is a great one but the problem is, people rarely commit to these resolutions!! Some of us may even make the same resolutions each year but never stick to them, each year someone may decide to lose weight, exercise more, have a healthy life style or break a bad habit, but it never happens!!

Why don’t people Commit to New Year’s Resolutions?

I am sure that you have experienced the situation where you have been trying to do something for years without any success, like wanting to wake up early for example, then one day you found yourself doing it. Why haven’t you been successful for months then one day you did it? and if you could do it easily, why didnt you do it earlier? The answer is simple, as long as you want to do something without convincing your subconscious mind, this thing won’t work, even if you consciously think that its good for you.

For example, if you dislike your job your subconscious mind may prevent you from waking up on time even if your conscious mind was trying hard to wake you up early. That’s why most New Year’s resolutions don’t work, because they are set on the conscious level but the subconscious mind resists them.

Sarah’s New Year’s resolutions included quitting smoking and exercising, but she never did any of these things. Sarah’s subconscious mind had the beliefs that smoking causes relaxation (contrary to what medicine says) and that exercising will never help her to lose weight, That’s why whenever she wanted to exercise she found herself too lazy to do it and whenever she wanted to quit smoking she couldn't do it, its just because her subconscious mind was resisting those new resolutions.

Some people stay broken for years after breakup up with someone, in my book How to get over anyone in few days i described how false beliefs that are present in the subconscious mind prevent a person from recovering fast. Even in breakups its the same concept, if you managed to convince your subconscious mind to accept the fact that you lost that person then you will get over him quickly.

How to Convince the Subconscious Mind to Accept The New Year’s Resolutions

There are few ways in which you can convince your subconscious mind to accept your new goals. The first is writing the New Year’s resolutions down and reading them as soon as you wake up and just before you sleep. Writing allows the subconscious mind to absorb the information while reading them again and again helps to solidify the belief in the subconscious mind. (See subconscious mind programming for more information)

The other thing is, you can use timeline therapy, which is a technique that can help you in installing the goals directly to the subconscious mind. For more information on setting goals using timeline therapy check out this article.

The benefit of convincing your subconscious mind to accept your new year’s resolution is that you will find no resistance when trying to implement them and you will find yourself much more motivated towards fulfilling them. Good luck with your New Year’s Resolutions:)
