(Hosting-NewsWire.com, December 26, 2012 ) Goshen, MA – This time of year, attention always turns to predictions, resolutions and goals for the coming year. According to creativity coach Marcia Yudkin, however, this annual ritual is downright wrong and dangerous for many people. Her new book, Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work, offers numerous arguments in favor of a “no resolutions” turn of the year (http://www.yudkin.com/inspired.htm ).
“Goals and resolutions are supposed to be magic galvanizers,” says Yudkin, the author of 16 previous books and leader of countless seminars. “But they don’t in and of themselves generate motivation, willpower or discipline. People who want to change do far better to learn to tune into the factors that naturally, effortlessly and idiosyncratically motivate them and use those to live the life they believe they truly want to live.”
Among the reasons in Inspired! for abstaining from New Year’s resolutions, Yudkin says:
* We don’t always consciously know what we really want to do. When we set resolutions for socially endorsed goals, like losing weight or eating healthier meals, we may be overlooking hidden needs that cause us to rebel and that set us up for failure.
* The timing is arbitrary. Deciding to change because December is shifting into January may have nothing to do with the ebb and flow of our inner or outer life. Superficial, socially instigated motivation is hard to maintain.
* Without rigid goals, we can more easily recognize and capitalize on intuitive impulses.
Inspired! How to Be More Original, Insightful and Productive in Your Work includes research, anecdotes, tips and suggestions on creativity, problem solving, idea generation, motivation, time management and many similar topics, all from the point of view of learning how to tune into one’s unique inner preferences. The book is available in paperback for $19.95 at Amazon.com or BN.com and for $9.99 in Amazon’s Kindle store or Barnes & Noble’s Nook store.
