The top New Year’s resolutions are the same every year, most likely because people find them to just difficult to keep. Statistically, less than half of those who make a resolution will stick to it for six months or more. This is really a shame because many of the most common resolution have to do with getting healthier – lose weight, quit smoking/drinking, exercise more, eat healthier.
Here are some tips to help you go further:
- Focus on only one resolution
- Set specific goals
- Break down into smaller steps with smaller, but measurable goals
- Chart your progress with a journal, spreadsheet or goal bulletin board
- Reward yourself for completing each step
- Always think positively, don’t dwell on failures or negative consequences
- Share goals with others to remind and support you
- Take an occasional failure as a minor setback, not a reason to give up
Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day and don't beat yourself up over minor slip-ups. Believe in yourself and think positively and you will be more likely to make your resolution a reality!
