At the end of every year, we make lists of the goals we want to accomplish and/or the resolutions we want to make for the New Year. However, New Year’s resolutions are sometimes hard to keep. Here are some tips to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions:
- Select one goal that you want to achieve instead of many
- Plan how you intend to achieve that goal
- Don’t be too ambitious with your goal, as it is best to keep it simple
- Break your goal into smaller, more manageable parts
- Pick a goal that involves a new activity
- Try to learn from past difficulties in accomplishing your goal
- Don’t get discouraged if you have setbacks
- Keep a daily record of your progress
- Pick a goal where you can measure the results
Achieving a goal you made as your New Year’s resolution is always easier when you have the support of friends and family. Let people know what you hope to achieve and enlist others who can be supportive. Additionally, give yourself some positive reinforcement as you work towards a goal.
