Life Coach: Top Ten New Year Resolutions & How to Make Them Permanent
This is not yet another article to give you advice or tell
you what to do. Most people have a difficult time telling a
five year old what to do let alone someone who has lived
with an unwanted behavior for 5, 10, 15 or more years. This
is an article about the basics of how to get the job done.

The mind is great at multitasking. This is why one can
maintain several bad habits at once and this is why one can
make several resolutions to replace those habits and
accomplish them all. Before we get started with the top ten
New Year Resolutions however one needs to understand some
basic principals about the subconscious.

>From your very first breath everything you have seen,
heard, smelled, tasted or felt is stored in the
subconscious mind. The subconscious uses this information
to determine how you emotionally respond to your world.
This is what is referred to as your subconscious
programming. If you do not know how the subconscious works
and how to take control of it you will be subject to the
subconscious running on its own and your life a random
event.

This is why there is an endless supply of advice givers
because no one has taken the time to address the single
most important question for goal setting, New Year
Resolutions or just simply a change in behavior and that is
"What determines a human behavior?" A New Year Resolution
or setting a goal is all about fixing something that does
not work. This brings up another question "Can you fix
anything if you do not know how it works?" The answer to
this is an emphatic no. It is the equivalent of banging on
the top of your radio or TV when it goes on the blink and
suddenly it starts working. You say to yourself...I guess I
fixed it. Does it make any sense to guess when speaking in
terms of the quality of your life and what you need for it
to work?

Once you have an answer to the question (What determines
human behavior?) you will need information on how to act
upon the answer but first let's take a look at the top ten
New Year Resolutions slightly revised by a Master Life
Coach.

1) Learn the Process of What Determines Human Behavior

The resolution of changing any behavior always begins with
a question and the question here is, "What determines human
behavior?" If you cannot answer this question you are
guessing how to accomplish your New Year Resolutions.
Without learning the process of what determines a behavior
it is unlikely you will be able to permanently change any
behavior so this question needs to be number one on your
list.

2) Spend More Time with Family & Friends

Love is your most powerful emotional state and spending
more time with people you love assists in solidifying this
emotional state. If you underhand how an emotional state
comes about you can maintain this powerful state in the
absence of family and friends.

3) Health, Fitness and Weight Loss

Fifty-five percent of adults in America are overweight so
this has become a popular New Year Resolution. Evidence of
this is the packed Health Clubs in January. Weight Loss is
almost a 40 billion dollar a year industry. Every year it
is a rehash of the same old things and people continue to
buy them. At some point you need to ask yourself if you
have control over your eating behavior. If the answer is no
or not really then it is time to get control of what is
controlling you.

4) Quit Smoking

Smoking is more than just a habit it is a physiological
addiction. This is why you must attack this problem from
two fronts. There are a number of different ways to
immediately address the physiological part of the equation
but the behavior must be addressed at the same time in
order to permanently kill the habit. When the habit is not
addressed along with the physiological side of the problem
more harm than good can be done. This happens when you
continue to smoke while wearing a patch or using other
pharmaceuticals to kill the addiction.

5) Enjoy Life More

This seems like it would be so simple but if you do not
understand how an emotional state comes about this is easy
to say but very difficult to accomplish.

6) Quit Drinking

While many people use the New Year as an incentive to
finally stop drinking, most are not equipped with the
skills in taking control of their subconscious. If you do
not run the subconscious the subconscious is going to run
you.

7) Get Out of Debt

Was money a big source of stress in your life last year?
Out of control dept often means out of control emotionally.
Over spending has a lot to do with trying to make yourself
feel better. If you begin to understand how an emotional
state comes about then you need not overspend to attempt to
affect it.

8) Learn Something New

Challenge your mind in the coming year, and your horizons
will expand. Especially if you are learning how the
subconscious works and how to take control of it.

9) Help Others

This is a popular, non-selfish New Year resolution. This is
an important resolution because our only real value is what
we can do for other humans.

10) Get Organized

Organization is the key to permanently maintaining a long
New Year Resolution List but where do you start. You start
by taking control of what allowed you to become
disorganized to begin with and that is of course the
supreme ruler in your life, the subconscious. The new
meaning of getting organized is getting control of the
clutter in the subconscious first and then everything else
will follow.

The reason all New Year Resolutions gets down to the
subconscious is because the subconscious runs approximately
four times faster than you can speak and right now you have
no idea what it is doing. The conscious and subconscious is
like a rope tow with the vat of mud in the middle. The
conscious is one person on one side against the
subconscious which is four people on the other side. If
consciously you say to yourself, I want to lose weight,
quit smoking etc. it is usually a losing proposition
because you are outnumbered with information. In other
words if you do not understand how to take control of the
subconscious you will almost always be out gunned by the
subconscious.

Until you learn how to recognize access and change your
subconscious programming your New Year Resolutions will
probably always be carried over to the next year. The
question before you make a New Year Resolution is "Do I
want control over my New Year Resolutions?" If the answer
to this question is yes then the first step is to get
control of your subconscious.
