Managing Personal Change
It is easy to make resolutions but sticking to them is another matter. Compliance is mostly relegated behind the perceived needs of the moment.
If your heart is behind a resolution, a little preparation is in order. The following ideas all help.
First check your leverage. How important is the personal change you are considering. Will it improve your life and if so, how exactly? What will happen if you never get around to this change, exactly?
Below are three of seventeen ways to help make a personal change happen. The other fourteen are in the 'Miscellaneous' section under 'User Resources' at www.salessense.co.uk. Register as a site user to access the a treasure chest of free material, reviews, and guides.
First three of seventeen ways to leverage personal change:
- Make a list of all the things you will end up with, or have to cope with if you don't change. Extend your imagination into the future and experience how you will feel when these things come about.
- Make a list of all the things you will gain or experience if you do change. Extend your imagination into the future and experience the joy of your accomplishment.
- With regard to the change you are contemplating, which motivates you more, the prospect of success or the fear of failure? Do you mostly think about things going wrong or things going right? Are you better at avoiding danger or do you like a little risk in your life? If you favour caution, use the negative list in suggestion 1. It will help you more than the positive list. If you like to be on the frontier, make more use of the positive list in suggestion 2.
