We have all done it. We make New Year
resolutions, Spring resolutions, resolutions when something
bad happens to us and at various other moments throughout
the year!! We maybe struggle to keep them for a few days,
make ourselves miserable and then lapse back into our old
habits.
Sure, we may keep a few of these resolutions
during our life but, for most, it is a losing battle.
Now a woman from Madrid says that she has the
vital formula that can ensure that you can keep every
resolution without fail.
According to Samantha Whay-Jenkins, we could
all benefit from this simple procedure. She claims that the
key lies in that word ‘resolution’. She suggests that when
we make these promises to ourselves, we should drop the ‘re’
bit of the word and concentrate on the ‘solution’. Samantha
is a coach and tells us that many of her clients benefit
from this simple change to their thinking. “Consider why
people make resolutions. It is usually because there is some
aspect of their life that they want to change for the
better. Then, instead of focusing on the great benefits that
they will achieve, they focus on what they are giving up so,
of course they fail.”
Samantha says, “In this life you attract
whatever it is that you think about the most. If you think
about negative words like giving up, stopping, doing less or
changing something that you have enjoyed for years, then it
is inevitable that your subconscious will rebel to ensure
that it does not happen.”
She continues: “Instead of thinking about
resolutions, think about solutions. Think about how you will
look, feel and sound when you have found the solution.
Instead of thinking about what you may be giving up, think
about what you will gain. Remember too that there is no
success or failure; there is only a result. Don’t beat
yourself up if the result is not what you planned, just
change something and start again.”
Samantha also offers some pointers about why
so many people get results that they see as failure.
She tells us that there are two main reasons.
The first is that they try to change the habits of a
lifetime overnight and the human mind and body doesn’t work
like that. The other is that they attempt to do it alone.
The help and support of a non-judgmental and uncritical
third party is crucial to a good outcome.
Many coaching clients think that setting a
resolution is all that it needs. Samantha often spends the
first few coaching sessions getting them to fully appreciate
why they choose what they choose and to examine their
commitment to the change. Then she gets them to define
strategies for creating the change with small action steps
that will bring them gradually closer to their goals.
Achieving solutions begins with setting them
correctly and then having support to make them happen in a
timescale that the body and mind can and will accept.
Samantha is always happy to discuss this or
other aspects of her approach to coaching, she can be
contacted during usual office hours on Tel 91 3837322.
“Solutions are great if they get you
thinking about your life. Remember, you can start work on a
new solution at any time. The power of personal change is
just too good to be limited to a few days and it really is
possible to keep every resolution without fail”.
