How to Make a Good New Year's Resolution! :)

Here's a few tips on how to stick to a New Years Resolution! :)

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Patience
• Will Power
• confidence
• an idea!

1. Create a Plan
   
   Setting a goal without thinking of a plan is merely wishful thinking. In order for you to follow through with your resolution, it must translate into clear steps that can be put into action. A good plan will tell you first What to do next and second, What are all of the steps required to complete the goal.
2. Create Your resolution and plan IMMEDIATELY!
   
   If you're like most people, then you'll have a limited window of opportunity during the first few days of January to harness your motivation. After that, most people forget their resolutions completely, i know i always do!
3. Write Down Your Resolution and Plan
   sit down and formulate your plan, commit to your resolution and plan to write it down someplace, such as a notebook or journal, that you will look at often.
4. Think "Year Round," Not Just New Year's
   
   Nothing big gets accomplished in one day. Resolutions are set in one day, but accomplished with a hundred tiny steps that happen throughout the year. New Year's resolutions should be nothing more than a starting point. You must develop a ritual or habit for revisiting your plan.
5. CHEERS! Good Luck and Happy New Years! And finally...
   
   Remain Flexible
   
   Expect that your plan can and will change. Life has a funny way of throwing unexpected things at us, and flexibility is required to complete anything but the simplest goal. Sometimes the goal itself will even change. Most of all, recognize partial successes at every step along the way. Just as a resolution isn't accomplished the day it's stated, neither is it accomplished the day you reach your goal. Rather, it's accomplished in many small steps along the way. Give yourself props every step of the way, even if you feel like you have fallen off the wagon, just pick yourself back up and start again! Remember! YOUR IN CONTROL!
