Will You Fulfill Your Writer Resolutions?

 

January is a major time of the year, even though 2024 is in its infancy. This is the make-or-break time for your recently stated resolutions. Will this be the year that you write your book? Get it published? Market it well? Get the recognition that you deserve?

The New Year has arrived and it is time to make good on your promises to commit to living a new you. Are you ready to become whom you have always thought you could be? 

* Did you set attainable goals? And a few lofty ones? 

* Have you broken these wishes into smaller steps? 

* Have you mapped out a timeline to succeed? 

* Did you identify challenges and map out potential pitfalls to avert or navigate around? 

* Have you acknowledged your resources and strengths and connections from which you build a strong foundation for achievement? 

* Do you have affirmations or a mantra to shout out as you run up against real or perceived blocks to your path of success? 

* As you delve deeper into pursuing you wants and fulfilling your needs, will you review your progress, assess the merits of your actions, change what isn’t productive, delete the negative, add the positive, sustain what works, and reward your achieved benchmarks?

For the New Year, may you:

* Improve at any or all of the things you already are good at — and become more proficient, efficient, and successful at mastering each skill or task. May you also to improve upon your weaknesses, so that you lose less often, and by smaller degrees, and may you stand to make greater gains.

* Decrease the frequency and depth of your bad habits, if not outright eliminate one or more of them. May your chronic issues and perennial challenges be dealt with better.

* Increase your wealth, friends, and knowledge. Address your physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs. More of the good; less of the bad.

* Change your ways and do that which you know needs to be done and to be willing to try new things that potentially can yield positive results.

* Dream. Act. Adopt a new perspective. Be better.
