Yesterday I posted the first of 5 2011 New Year’s Resolutions. The first Resolution is about being a "Yes Man". Check it out and let me know what you think.
Today's resolution is: #4 Break the habit
Yeah, yeah, yeah – you’ve promised it to yourself and to your friends and family for awhile. The empty promises of quitting smoking, drinking, or any other addiction you may have could finally be fulfilled. The hardest part isn’t weaning yourself off of the addiction, it’s taking the first step and committing to it. With the support and love of those around you, breaking the habit doesn’t have to be endured alone. Buy over-the-counter help or for more serious addictions seek out professional therapy. This year, don’t make the resolution to break the addiction just for yourself – make the promise for your loved ones, the ones who truly care about you.
I have to give credit for starting a positive habit to Margaret Rome who just the other day without realizing it got me active again with my blogging. All she did was share a small tidbit about her habits. When thinking about breaking a habit think about a good one you can start too.
- blogging daily
- get organized (if you want help here let me know I have a great person to recommend)
- make 3 contacts a day to old or new people in your network
- take time out of your schedule to focus on your family (ie ";date night";)
Stay tuned for the next 2011 New Year’s Resolution.
What have you resolved to do or change in the new year?
As always, it was great speaking with you this past week. Glad that suggestion was helpful. Thanks for the mention. I am enjoying your New Year's series.
Thanks Margaret. Enjoy the New Years weekend.
Love the fact to make contacts. People really do appreciate being noticed and appreciated. I love it! Going to keep that going strong in the new year
Tammy - thanks for the note. A friend of mine is a huge networker and that little tip is a great one. 3 a day and you would be surprised how many people you can reach in a year. Happy New Year.
Great resolutions! All the best in 2011!!
Thanks Debbe. All the best to you too.
Hi Josef,
to you and yours a Prosperous New Year!
Thank you for sharing and mention to connect regularly....good ideas.
Josef, my memories go back to the 70's... do you happen to know Helena Katz, a gifted and passionate maths teacher, a great humanist...Timisoara? Best - Peter -Perth WA -- abc88@people.net.au
Peter - Thanks for the good wishes. Sorry I don't know Helena Katz and I am not related to too many Katzes.
Margaret is always inspirational and I love your resolutions and suggestions. Though, Activerain can quickly become an addiction of its own kind.
Thanks Leah. AR is definitely an addiction but I would for the most part put that in the good addiction category (as long as you don't spend all day on the site and get nothing done at work...)
