Host: Once I ve made a resolution, how do I keep it?

Gary Ryan Blair: Once you have made a resolution, you really have to focus on what are the disciplines in order to keep it, and we all have heard about the three Rs, Reading, Riting, and Rhythmetic. When it comes to resolutions, three different R s, it s Repetition, Reinforcement, and Renewal. In order to keep a dream alive or in this case a resolution alive, you got to continue to repeat yourself what it is; again and again and again, the same way if you are going to shoot basketballs, you ll learn it through repetition. If you learned a new telephone number, you are going to learn it from repetition. In order to keep a resolution alive, you have to continue to repeat yourself what s going on.

Then Reinforcement; reinforcement, we can equate that to a diet for just a moment. You don t go on a diet just once. You go on a diet every single time the dessert tray comes, every single time that you are presented with the stairs versus the elevator, is that, which you will find for at every given day, you have an opportunity to reinforce your commitment to the original resolution through reinforcement.

The third component in this whole process is renewal. Renewal is taking time to relax, get more energy. So there has to be an equal distribution of energy expenditure and energy renewal. It can always be 100% of the time. You got to identify what you want, you have got to go after with complete confidence and gusto, and you also have to give yourself an opportunity with which to recharge and reenergize same way that battery needs to recharge and reenergize. Those are the three steps on how to do.
