The biggest reason people don’t keep their New Year resolutions is that they allow their emotions, beliefs and thoughts to stand in their way.

According to Sylvia Marina author and presenter of the Self Mastery program www.sylviamarina.com/mastery people approach New Year resolutions with a vocal desire and a subconscious ‘grain of salt’ attitude assuming that since previous new year resolutions didn’t work, it probably won’t work this time either.

Another reason so many new-year resolutions fail is to do with the goals; often they are simply too big and too general. For some an even bigger reason for failure is the negative influences of other people.

People who exude negative energy are a major risk to your own well-being.

If you are not diligent, their pessimism can begin to rub off on you, or make you doubt your instincts or path in life. If someone attempts to ‘put you down’ here’s a way to circumvent it.

Step 1.

As soon as ‘they’ begin droning about negativities of life; mentally remove yourself. Imagine cutting the cord which often seems more like ‘mooring ropes’ that links you to them. Severed from negative influences their negative messages cannot connect or interfere with your positivism.

Step 2.

Find something to love about them. Don’t be self-right and incite an argument or ill feelings. Change the subject, share something positive welcome feelings of love.

When you invoke creative power you attract the people, circumstances, resources and guidance to achieve ambitious goals.

MAKE PROMISES YOU WILL KEEP.

In the past goals have had a history of being pushed aside. Perhaps they were made too complicated! Reckless. Or too big... You know your reasons!
Perhaps you needed little steps first.
This year, thoughtfully write your list
Having thought about and written down your desires for the year, search within.

Is this truth? Is this really what you want?

Write your list again. You may discover you have deleted some items and included others. Continue writing and when you are satisfied that this is your truth, this is truly what you desire... ask...

Is there a saboteur lurking? What imprint may you have that stands between you (yourself) and the fulfillment of your life desire? The imprint or contract may not be visible to the conscious mind but you know what has happened in the past and you want to make life different in the future.

Seek skills that will give you the tools to release self-limiting emotions, break through ingrained patterning, open the door for your next step forward to achieve your goal and ultimately to living the life you deserve.

Whether you are afraid of failing, doubtful that you posses the ability to achieve or simply overwhelmed by where to start, Sylvia Marina’s Mastery program shows you step-by-step how to release what holds you back. Free from self sabotage, your self-limiting beliefs, you are free to attract the life you deserve.

When you have the right tools and method to work with, anything is possible. IMPORTANT TIPS

1.  Avoid the urge to bit off more than you can chew.

2.  Make your goals manageable. Consider re-wording your goals

a.      Rather than setting an enormous goal to pay off debt, consider ways to reduce your spending. By reducing your spending you will have money to pay off your debt.

Be aware, there may be places where energy is escaping, when this happens you begin to lose focus. Check for any ‘holes in your bucket’. One hole in the bucket may be ‘not paying off your credit card before the due date!’

b.      Rather than struggle towards creating a ‘work life balance’ consider ways to have more harmony in your life. When harmony is your focal point life becomes a joy.

c.      Be aware that words are powerful. If your goal is to ‘stop biting your fingernails’ change your statement and visual picture to ‘I have beautiful, long, well shaped fingernails’. Always phrase and use words that bring your focus, conscious and subconscious, to the positive energy.

d.      Life is simple. Everything you do either brings you closer or moves you away from your goal. All future decisions therefore are made with this thought in mind.

Will this decision bring me closer to or further from my desired out­come?

When you are willing to set clear intentions and have the willingness to let go of any thoughts, feelings and beliefs that stand in your way of the life you deserve, everything is possible.
