[Nfbf-l] Some suggestions for new years resolutions

[PLipovsky]

Hi all.

 

I took this from a news letter I received from a friend and thought these
resolutions were different and quite interesting, something out of the norm
that most probably wouldn't think about doing.

Could Enhance Your Life in 2019

Countless people use the beginning of a new year as an opportunity to set
goals for their health, careers, and relationships-hence the age-old concept
of New Year's Resolutions. As you think about what you want to achieve this
year, consider the following unique resolutions that could potentially
enrich your life:

*	Have lunch with someone with whom you disagree-and vow to keep an
open mind. Whether you've sparred with a friend about politics,
philosophical issues, or you've simply had a rift, the first step in healing
the relationship is to have a truly open-minded conversation. If you know
someone whom you used to value, but whose differences you have been unable
to see past, consider inviting them to lunch. Agree that neither of you will
attempt to persuade the other; instead, maintain a sense of curiosity and
strive to simply have a conversation. Even if you both hold steady to your
beliefs, you should be able to establish the mutual sense of respect that is
essential to rekindling your relationship.
*	Schedule time to be bored each week. From smartphones to streaming
television, many people never feel bored in today's hyperconnected world.
But did you know that occasional boredom can benefit your brain? When your
brain has "off time" as it does when you are bored, it becomes better
equipped to solve nagging problems, connect disparate ideas, and gain a
sense of clarity about your personal journey and goals. While you may find
it difficult to relax, resolve that you will schedule some electronics-free
time each week to simply do nothing.
*	Seek out rejection. Most people are terrified of rejection-and this
fear holds many of us back from achieving our dreams. To become more
comfortable with the sting of rejection, resolve to do at least one thing
that you know will lead to it. For example, ask for free refills at a
restaurant that you know will not provide them, or ask a stranger for money.
While this method may sound strange, desensitizing yourself to rejection
could help you take the risks necessary for success.
