New Years resolutions are the like the old saying, “made with the best of intentions but more often than not doomed to failure.

It’s easy to make a resolution but so difficult to keep them. Bad habits often have a way of burrowing themselves deeply into our daily lives and most new years resolutions are doomed to failure.

At New Years, we have the opportunity to make resolutions, and give ourselves a fresh start and improve our lives.

How do we keep them though? let’s find out.

The Desyatnikov Method

Igor Desyatnikov, a modern thinker, businessman, television personality, pop singer and now international actor, has developed over the years a powerful method for helping to achieve goal fulfillment.

If the goal is to keep a good New Years resolution, the method can work well

The method involves:

• Clear definition of goal to be reached, based in reality

• Honest and sincere self-analysis

• Forward planning

• Making the goal public

• Forming goal alliances

• Creating the success environment

These steps, when applied to a New Years resolution can be a powerful tool to not only keeps the resolution, but to put some real order into your affairs.

The success you will attain with your resolution will also spread to other areas of your life.

Many people do resolutions as others do to and then think it’s ok to break them as they are not alone but that won’t help you longer term!

Applying the Desyatnikov Method to the New Years Resolution

Before you make the resolution, you must consider if your resolution is really feasible. Stopping to smoke, losing weight, clearing a bad habit, are feasible.

Walking on the moon is even feasible, but is it a New Years resolution?

Then, once you have your resolution, you must then honestly and sincerely examine yourself.

Ask why you have the bad habit, why you are overweight, or still smoking. This part of the Desyatnikov Method is crucial.

You must be brutally honest with yourself. If you are, and can discover the “whys” then you have a real chance of keeping your resolution.

Now its time to tell everyone (who is interested) about your goal, or in this case, New Years resolution. Make it public. Friends and interested parties may be a source of strength to keep your resolution as well.

If you have decided to lose weight, find others who are on diets.

Discuss diet strategy and so on. If you have decided to quit smoking, find other who have recently quit. Form your resolution alliances.

Finally, if you really keep your New Years resolution, use the last step in the Desyatnikov Method by creating a success environment.

Using the stopping to smoke resolution, you can make your home “smoke free” and if others wish to smoke around you, send them outside.

Do not provide ash trays, and become an expert on the effects of breathing second hand smoke. Create your success environment.

Keep those closer to you who do not smoke, and ask those who do smoke to respect you, and so on. Your environment is crucial to your keeping your resolution.

Good luck in the New Year, and remember to use the Desyatnikov Method if you really wish to keep that New Years resolution.

In 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone, he had absolutely no clue that in the year 2009, people would have a device called the Blackberry. Although the initial telephone merely accomplished its primary task, that is, to transmit voice to other places, the modern blackberry is a magical invention that can perform several tasks apart from sending/receiving phone calls.

Manufacturers and retailers are joining hands to retaliate the iPhone explosion by offering the latest Blackberry phones for astonishingly high discounts.

Blackberry is a device most suitable for the modern businessman who needs to be aware of his business progress and stay in contact with his colleagues while on the move. Blackberry offers enhanced facilities without taking up too much space.

Blackberry phones which were on sale for up to $300 are now easily available for as low as $79 by Verizon Wireless for a contract of two years.

Some online stores and retailers are offering blackberry phones for ridiculously low prices, just like Amazon, where the Curve in red is being offered for $0.01 if the consumer buys it through a 2-year contract with AT&T. Online mobile retailers like ‘Spring’, are also offering cheap Blackberry deals in order to get more and more contracts.

With amazing discounts on the best Blackberry phones, this magical device of the 21st century has now become affordable for almost every one.

While the curve is even cheaper as a consumer can possess it for only $99 with a contract of two years. Every company gives discounts on almost every product, but the discounts being offered on Blackberry phones are simple too good to be true, and this golden opportunity must not be missed by consumers.

Some consumers think it better to stay away from the bindings of new contracts, and prefer to pay a higher price for Blackberry phones rather than pay it cheap and enter into a contract. Ebay is a site to be visited if you want to buy great Blackberry phones without having to enter any two year contracts. But it must be realized that you will be spending a lot more money if you take this course, rather than the earlier ones, which offered much lower prices for great Blackberry phones like Curve and 8830.

Many sites even allow you to replace your current Blackberry phone with a newer model, and checking out your last cell phone provider will be useful. It is more than likely that you will have to pay a negligible cost for this replacement, while you get a fantastic Blackberry with latest features in your hands.
