A Door to Self Improvement

Episode summary introduction:

We welcome a new member to our E-Walabout, James “Maddog” Bergin.  Maddog joins TC as they take a journey to explore the nuances of resolutions.  We indulge in resolutions as part of our New Year’s eve ritual but statistically struggle to see them through.  Resolutions do have a benefit and can be a door to self improvement.  It begs questions as to why we make them, what we look to improve and how do we set ourselves up to successfully keep them.

Topics discussed in this episode:

As we talk about resolutions we hit the following milestones:

• Why would anyone make a resolution?
• What type of resolutions are being made?
• Financial Wellness
• What is the main reason you think that they are not kept?
• Who are the resolutions made for, the person who makes them or someone(s) else?
• What are some of the best steps that can be taken to see our resolutions to the end?

Walkabout takeaways:

Resolutions can be made at any time, we don’t need to wait for a new year. The next time you set your sights to any type of self improvement here are a few things that may lend to your success:

• Be picky about your resolutions. 
• Plan your resolution. 
• Set very specific goals. 
• Don't take on too much. 
• Choose a new resolution.
• Identify accountability partners for support.
• Give your resolution time to become a habit.

Don’t think of your resolution as another burden you need to carry. When you are successful in keeping the resolutions it will take stress off of your life and give you energy to take on something new.  

Self improvement is a continual effort and needs to be developed as a lifetime or living habit so that we can get the most out of our lives.
