A few years ago when I was teaching at the Learning Annex I was asked if I would teach another class on procrastination. I thought about why anyone who was a procrastinator would come to a procrastination class. Wouldn't they just procrastinate coming to the class at all? If you've ever studied goal setting or the setting of New Year's resolutions, you undoubtedly must have heard that the average New Year's Resolution is out the door after the first 3 weeks into the New Year. Why is this? The reasons fro delaying goals, forgetting about them, changing them and so on are endless. One of the main reasons, however, is as follows: People have a tendency to put way too many goals on their plate, most people also are trying to accomplish these goals without any constructive and productive support. We are our worst critics and get down on ourselves at the slightest sign of failure. And then we have those closest to us who rub in our faces: "I told you so." So what's a more achievable solution? The first thing to do is to listen to your Higher Self. This is not a joke. We are all different about how we react towards setting goals. To Jane Doe a test is a nightmare come true and to Joe Blow a test is his greatest motivator. A deadline to one person may cause him undue hardship, stress and sleepless nights, whereas to me the tighter the deadline and the more complicated the task, the more revved up I get to achieving my deadline early. For example, the most famous New Year's Resolution most undoubtedly be the issue of losing weight. No matter where you look at this time of the year, we are being harassed by seemingly endless diets that ought to get rid of the holiday excess. In my opinion one of the stupidest New Year's Resolutions is wanting to lose x-number of pounds. Besides being unrealistic and a set up for failure I find it unloving and unkind to our bodies and only makes us feel like we're being punished for something. Prison are indeed meant to be broken out of , and we all do by week 3. So instead of sending yourself to prison on the first of each year, try this instead: Your one and only goal is to always feel amazingly great and fit. Think about this, if you have one goal in mind and that is to feel great and fit, you have just stripped your scale of its rights. On the other hand, if you make it your goals to lose x-number of pounds then your scale becomes your say-all, your ruler, your king, your measuring stick, your boss. Instead let's keep in mind that our bodies care for only the following; bodies want to feel cared for, fed with real food, satisfaction is a must, loved, caressed, hugged, paid attention to and used for what it was intended to (to move you around). Do you get it? Your body is all-wise, let it figure out how to lose the weight. Your body was created for on purpose only, and that is to get you through this life so you can achieve your purpose. The only thing for you to do is to support it in what it wants, give it real foods and obey it. Once your body feels that you're on its side and you give it nothing but respect, your body will give you a thousand-fold in return so that amazingly beautiful Being can come forth. So make only this one promise to yourself this year: Love and respect yourself each and every day; listen to your Higher Self, its wisdom instead of other people's wisdom. Obey your Self. You are protected according to divine order and so are all Beings, always believe in that. And walk through the doors that can be opened by you the easiest. If you can make this one goal your one daily desire, you will look back onto 2008 and be utterly delighted and euphoric at how easy everything fell into place for you this year. It truly can be considered magic. Wishing you a phenomenal year!
