Continuing Our New Series: Can another New Year's resolution CHANGE our unmanageable lives?!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - Or is it?

Growing up, I remember how jealous my friends were of me because I got to CELEBRATE TWO NEW YEARS each year! Not only Rosh Hashana but also January 1st.

BUT, I wasn't so happy during either of these New Years! In fact, I was pretty sad, since I knew that once again - just like everyone else - I was going to make a NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION - that I wasn't going to keep!

TODAY, after enjoying a New Design for Living for over a decade, I actually appreciate both New Years. Why? Because now I make not only a resolution for real teshuva and growth at Rosh Hashana but I also RENEW MY COMMITMENT to change during the January 1st New Year.

You may be thinking, "sure Duvid Chaim, you can make a resolution to change, but not me! I've tried so many times - especially when I hit rock bottom - but a week or a month later, I'm back to my same ol’ frustrating behaviors and way of thinking!"

Let me just share with you: IF I CAN CHANGE, ANYBODY CAN CHANGE!

YOU JUST HAVE TO BE SMART! Or more precisely, you have to be S.M.A.R.T. !

S.M.A.R.T. Resolution With just 5 Basic Steps:

- S pecific - With real concrete, written down GOALS you want to accomplish this New Year.

- M easurable - Now that you have your goals, how are you going to track Success? That's why your Goals also have to be specific enough to set some "hurdles" that reward you with that sense of progress!

- A ttainable - Not only must we set specific goals and be capable of measuring success, but we have to Arm ourselves with the best TOOLS to get the Job done! This may mean getting support, training, guidance, etc. whatever will help you attain success.

- R ealistic - I've always dreamed of being an astronaut and going to the moon...but that's probably not a very realistic goal for me. This is one of the main reasons people fail in achieving their goals. You know yourself and what you can achieve (of course, this doesn't give you an excuse to not stretch or push yourself). But you don't want to set a goal so lofty that you'll end up being discouraged and abandon your dream.

- T ime-Sensitive - This is probably the most important step for success in making real change - and making it stick! This step simply guides you so whatever Resolution you make, you need to break it down into parts. based on time. So whatever you want to accomplish this year, determine how to get there by setting a plan what to accomplish THIS MONTH...THIS WEEK... AND EVEN TODAY!

SO HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my friends following our posts and ask yourself... - ISN'T IT TIME TO BE S.M.A.R.T.?!

Here's what my clients are saying:

Emanuel says:

"I wanted to share with you that today I am 50 days clean, something that I never thought possible. And it is no coincidence that I started coaching with you, 50 days ago. So thank you very much for all your support.

Slowly but surely, I am changing my way of thinking and looking at Hashem. And to be honest, I feel the urges less and less each day!"

Yehudah says:

"Making the commitment to invest in Duvid Chaim’s workshop was an important step forward for me that has helped to set me on a new path of hope. Through the workshop and my relationship with Duvid Chaim, I began to understand my problem in a more realistic way, and I became more devoted to taking serious steps to get the help that I need. Duvid Chaim’s experience and compassion allowed me to begin thinking, feeling and acting in better ways through my ups and downs, and gave me new ways to reach out for help when I was struggling. Though I am not yet where I ultimately hope to be, I am thankful for the progress that I have made so far."

Avi says:

"As I am writing this, I completed the 90-day journey.

To be honest, before starting out with Duvid Chaim, I really thought that this was going to be another one of all the failed attempts at recovery. But, Duvid Chaim defintely proved me wrong.

With all the tools that Duvid Chaim gave me, I am confident that I am able to overcome any obstacle.

Simply put: AMAZING!"
