- Think about the past year, did you accomplish all of the things
you wanted to? Write these goals down along with new goals for the
New Year.
- Tell all of your friends and family. The more support you have,
the more people you have to cheer you along if you start to lag.
- Make your resolutions specific. Instead of saying, “I will loose
weight” say, “I want to loose 15 pounds.”
- Write down your goals and keep your list small. Don’t overload
yourself. Try not to set 20 different goals.
- Don’t set the bar too high. Try to keep the goals realistic and
attainable. Unrealistic goals are doomed from the start.
- Reward yourself each time you resist. If you have resolved to
lose weight, pat your self on the back when you pass on the dessert
or make it to the gym!
- Change your resolution date if you need to. January 1st doesn’t
always work out. You choose, it’s your life!
- Visualize yourself attaining your goal and imagine how you will
feel when you do! The clearer the picture, the more likely you are
to succeed.
- Don’t give up! Research shows that it takes 21 days for
something to become a habit and at least 6 months for it to become
part of your lifestyle.
- Look back on the progress you have made at the end of the year.
Call your friends and family and let them know that you kept your
New Year’s resolution!
