 Did you make any New Year's resolutions? If you did, congratulations. That shows your commitment and your passion to improve your life. If you didn't, that's okay, because what I'm going to share with you in this video is even better, I think, than New Year's resolutions. It's daily resolutions and weekly resolutions or monthly resolutions. That's what we need to be making, right? So whatever it is you're trying to get done, we try, whatever this improvement you're trying to make, a New Year's resolution you probably have discovered is not enough. If it is a daily habit that you want to make, then you need to make a daily resolution. If it's a weekly habit that you have, you're trying to create, then you need to make a weekly resolution. And so let me give you a simple formula for making such a daily, for example, daily resolution. You need to clarify each day the what, where, when, why, and how of that new habit you're trying to create. Now there's important caveat here. If you're trying to stop doing something, like you're trying to stop a bad habit, it's generally difficult to say, I'm going to stop doing this. It's generally much easier to say, in the situation when I usually do this bad habit, I will instead do this positive thing instead. And the positive thing might be to do nothing, but it's better than doing nothing is to say, take three deep breaths and bring an inner smile to your heart. That's much better than saying doing nothing. But it's always better to reframe your habit in a positive way and clarify the what, where, when, why, and how. So what do I mean by that? What is the thing you're trying to do? So for example, one of the New Year's resolutions I have or a daily resolution I have is to make progress in reading a book that I'm trying to finish reading and then teaching it. So reading a book and taking notes. So the what is to read the book for at least a couple minutes each time. I actually do this four times a day, but that's a whole separate conversation. So the what is reading the book? The where and when is whenever I have a break in my day. So I actually have four breaks that I've scheduled in my day. Now you may not be so scheduled and so you just need to find out, be clear with yourself on the where and when that you know is going to take place that day for you. So for example, if you want to exercise more, then the where and the when would be when I first wake up and after I've done my morning hygiene, let's say you exercise in the morning. So after I've done my morning hygiene and had my morning coffee, then I'm going to step outside and do a jog. So just an example. So be clear about the what of course. The what's usually easy. The where and the when you need to clarify every day just to visualize. It literally takes only a few, it only takes a minute to go through this process of what, where, when, okay. Why? Why is important? Because if you don't keep reminding yourself of why some some habits important, it's easy to forget. You know, it's easy to forget why is it important for you to exercise? Just just take 20 seconds to remind yourself, oh, it's because I'm trying to get to this particular weight goal or I don't want to have heart issues like, you know, my parents or grandparents did or whatever it is or I'm doing this to be a good role model for my children. But just take a moment to clarify the why. And then finally, the how is can you visualize, see yourself doing that positive activity, even if you spend 15 to 20 seconds seeing yourself doing it, you're going to be much more likely to do it that day during the where and when that you've clarified. So again, New Year's resolutions, not enough, you've got to make daily resolutions and you can see there's more joggers than usual because I'm recording this in the beginning of January. So there's more excitement to exercise, right? Make daily resolutions get clear, even if it takes just 30 to 60 seconds on the what, where, when, why, and how. If you can see yourself doing it and see a few of the specifics, you are far more likely to do it. So until the next video, this is George Cow wishing you clarity and joy in fulfilling your New Year's resolutions and your daily resolutions.
