OK, so while brainstorming I realized that I have too many (competing) resolutions to tackle this year
and that it takes time (and guts) to commit/express yourself on the paper
. But to start the discussion, here is one burning, realistic, and (according to me
) attainable goal, to which I have assigned a reasonable time frame.
The Goal is ==> To improve my confidence with public speaking by 50 percent from where I am now by June 2008, and to reach what is usually considered the natural level of confidence by December 2008.
What tools/techniques will I use to keep me focused on my goal? First, I will (consciously) choose to completely ignore/delete if impossible to ignore any event in which I might witness an example of poor public speaking performance and to observe/study exclusively public speakers who perform well, with minimum (visible) signs of anxiety. Second, I will begin listening the Talking to Win CD on daily basis, for 21 days (if I skip a day, I will start over until I make it 21 days) as soon as I find a suitable role model that clicks in for me. Third, I will not only stop avoiding situations in which I might be called on to say a few words, but I will actually actively seek opportunities to test my newly-developed strengths. Finally, I will use the feedbacks to either reinforce or remodel my act with the Talking to Win CD. How is that???
I also want to attain a healthier (stress-and-other-wise) daily routine that preserves my mental and physical vitality throughout the day so that I can “produce” more. Of course I want to invite more financial prosperity so that I can afford the little (material) joys easily and can donate to the less-fortunate ones without feeling afraid what will happen to my bills tomorrow. Finally, I want to have only positive people as close friends or at least stay away from negative people’s influence. I will phrase these after I hear from you.
Grace
