Did you know that statistically by January 15, 95% of all New Year’s Resolutions have already been broken!?!And yet they can be very powerful at helping you create positive change in your life.

Here are three keys to making and keeping your New Year’s Resolutions:

#1. Commit.When you don’t feel like it...emotions keep you where you are.Follow your commitment, not your emotions.

#2. Rebound.You will possibly miss a day, flake, mess up, or fail at some point.That’s life.In basketball, Coach Milson taught me“Follow your shot.”In other words, expect to make every shot, but prepare for the miss, so you can get the ball and shoot again.

#3. Automate.The whole point of resolutions isto make a new behavior automatic...in other words to create a new habit.The latest research says it take 66 days on average for a behavior to become automatic.That’s when your resolution has successfully stuck.

YESTalk-41 - Holiday Stress - How to Beat It

The one thing that is most likely to ruin or put a damper on your “happy holidays” is stress.  It is the party-pooper of the holiday spirit, but it doesn’t have to be that for you this year.

The major stressors of the holidays are typically things like family pressures, money pressures, and often just the sheer busy-ness that many people feel.  Remember to “Stop and smell the roses” this holiday season by doing the following three things to slow down your pulse and lower your stress for the holidays..

  1. Take control of yourself and decisions of what’s best for you and your family and don’t get caught up in trying to please everyone else.
  2. Reflect. Choose to be present in the special moments.  Just notice…the blessings, the abundance, the wins of 2016.  Reflecting on the things that are important to you.
  3. Enjoy. There’s so much to enjoy during the holidays.  Choose joy, not stress.  Choose inner peace. 

Tell yourself, “I will allow no one to ruin this holiday.”  It’s up to you.  Choose joy, choose peace, and have a happy holidays!

YESTalk-40 - Overcoming Insurmountable Odds- The Battle of Thermopylae

After growing up being bullied, the Battle of Thermopylae has become a great inspiration to me.  King Xerxes was a bully, and the courage of the 300 Warriors of Sparta under King Leonidas to stand up against the entire Persian army of Xerxes is remarkable.  They were out-numbered by over 100 to 1.  They had marched hundreds of miles with virtually no chance of victory.  And even though they eventually were defeated after days of fighting, their bravery and sacrifice united all of Greece to stand up to the King Xerxes’ army and stop the invasion in the months that followed.

How can we stand up to adversity when the odds seem almost overwhelming?  Sparta had three key elements that allowed them to stop an immensely larger and more powerful enemy:

  1. Courage that came from having a cause worth fighting for…their own freedom.
  2. Skill that came from intense training and preparation for years.
  3. Strategic advantage that came from planning, knowing and using the terrain.

When you realize that you and your dreams are worth fighting for, and when you’re willing to prepare and train yourself, and when you pay attention to and use the terrain around you to your advantage, you can overcoming almost any odds.
