When this draft has gone online, I?m making a guess we're beginning to feel that time has flown and the year is just about over, but what number of us have made New Years resolutions to switch the way in which we live, work, eat, socialize and go about our daily lives?
As an airline pilot, I have chosen that this year aside from getting fit and making time to spend with my family, I will be able to make an attempt to once and for all discover the age old query that had troubled humankind for centuries? Where does belly button fluff come from?
Has anybody asked herself or himself why do we wait till the beginning of a new year, a birthday, and a vital landmark in our lives before we make these changes?
Its has been proved that in general we tend to convince ourselves that by making a change at a set point, looking to turn over a new leaf that life will be wonderful and that the changes we feel must be made, will achieve success. Unfortunately for us mere mortals in the aviation industry this thought process often leads to one end result, having the same resolutions the next year.
So what can we do to extend our success of making changes to our lives? First off the odds of success increase with the prerequisite of the change, either understood or necessary. You can't expect to make changes if way down you don't really care on the end result or if it is simply because someone asked you if you would. For those of us in the aviation industry, to maintain our airline jobs the requirement to keep your medical is rather high!
Second, change can be made at anytime; we don?t need to hang around for a memorable day to fire a modification in our lifestyle including waiting for a new day to begin before we make adjustments.
For those of us who've tried to diet, hands up who felt that if we break the diet with a lapse of judgment (lets say with a tim-tam for afternoon tea) that we then believe the day is a write off, so we might as wel take a trip to McDonalds for dinner and start afresh the following day? (Please let me know it?s not just me). But psychological specialists say this is a standard thought process for those trying to diet and in fact for many people trying to implement changes, if we ruin one day in general we tend to think, ?I?ll start again tomorrow and all will be ok? This concept process however leads to the problems many of us face. We never make change.
There aren't any magic beans, no easy way out, unfortunately change is tricky and if it is vital to us, we can become successful. All that it takes is embrace your targets, take responsibility for your actions, and with a little luck we will achieve what we set out to finish. Good luck everyone and have a great 2013.
