How to acomplish your New Years resolution

How would you like to actually keep your New Years resolution this year? Here's how...

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Moderade common sense

1. Start by making a resolution you are motivated to keep. "I wish I could loose 10 lbs." is not a New Years resolution. Most New Years resolutions are doomed to failure because they are resolutions that you have no intent on keeping.

2. Create a plan to make your resolution a reality. If you can't figure out what needs to be done, start over with a different goal.

3. Recognize up front there will be setbacks. Plan on overcoming at least two obstacles before you are successful. Mentally prepare yourself to persevere. Think ahead of time how big a setback will have to be to prevent you from reaching your goal.

4. Decide how much can be accomplished in the first two weeks and get off to a strong start. Commit to your resolution by doing something every day.
