5 Questions to Ask Yourself to Make Sure you don't Belly Flop on your New Year's Resolutions

If you are ready to kick it into high gear and make your goals your reality, then you need to read this

A lot of us can get sooo caught up in all the things we want to accomplish, start, or do that we forget what the whole point of it was in the first place. 

Most goals are set with the intention of making our life easier, more enjoyable, peaceful, or fulfilling, but then we go head first into a pool of goals only to belly flop in the realization that they are stressing us out more than anything.

Sure, the first few days, or even weeks are like frikkin fire in your belly, but then we get a bit overwhelmed. 

You know that feeling; like you can't actuallly handle this, you can't possibly add another thing onto your plate, or you are just wayyyy confused with where to start!

So, Why do we get overwhelmed?

Overwhelm is a sign of an identity disconnect. It basically is a great signal to us that we have some more work to do.

Until we clear out our old identity, at least the parts that don't serve us in accomplishing the goals we have set to make habits, then we just have a ton of space in our mind being occupied by an old version of ourselves thoughts, actions, and beliefs running the show.

So, what do we need to do when we feel overwhelmed?

CREATE SPACE

Clear the limiting beliefs, clear the old patterns of thoughts and behaviors, clear the things, the clutter, the negativity.

CHOOSE a NEW VERSION

Rewrite the stories, the thoughts, the beliefs, the conditioning, the failures, the upsets, and choose to step into a newer, more improved version of yourself who you can hand the keys over to and tell her to start driving!

BE KIND

If you do belly flop, or get scared that you might be about to, take a deep breath, get back up on the diving board, and learn from your previous self. Every moment you live, you are a moment wiser, use that to your advantage!


People do not fail to achieve as much as they fail to rewire what they believe.

The mind determines your success before your actions do.

Regardless, action is necessary. But action without positive momentum or force is just the same old actions you could have taken yesterday.

The only way your results can be different is if your mind has changed your actions and your actions have changed your mind.

I have some things for you to ask yourself that will really help you out in setting yourself up for your success IF you choose to implement them. 

I saved these tips for the end of this post so only the truly committed could get the extra fire ;)

Some of these questions have been taken from my #1 best-selling book, "Believe your way to Badass" (definitely a great read for stepping into your next level self)

In order to get what you desire...

1. WHO do you have to become?
2. WHAT do you have to believe? (about success, it, and yourself)
3. WHY will it make a difference in your life?
4. HOW can you use the energy of gratitude as momentum?
5. WHEN your self-sabotaging patterns come up, what will you do to combat them?

**WARNING: DO NOT ASK YOURSELF THIS IF YOU ARE NOT TRULY READY TO IMPLEMENT AND ACT UPON YOUR DISCOVERIES**

So, what are your answers? I would love to know! comment below :)
