The beginning of every new year always seems to be a great time to make resolutions for changes to something in our lives. However, these New Year’s resolutions are often easier to make than 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 in advance how you intend to achieve your goal
- Don’t be too ambitious with your goal, it is best to keep it simple
- Break up your goal into smaller, manageable parts
- Pick a goal that involves a new activity
- Try to learn from past challenges with achieving your goals
- Don’t let yourself become discouraged if you have setbacks
- Keep a daily log of your progress
- Pick a goal where you can measure the results
Achieving a goal that 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 when you are working towards a goal.
