    i think this is a good time to sit back and reflect on the things we'v done and those we hvnt,the thingz we'v done right and those we did wrong,and the times we impressed and dissapointed ourselves and others..THEN make decisions based on our thoughts.a new year's resolution should be SMART..i.e.Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound...HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!live UR Life

    Instead of saying "I want to exercise regularly," write down - "I am spending an hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday jogging before work." Write it down, say it, repeat it, review it. Give yourself specific times, specific activities, schedule it on your calendar or planner, and share your plans with others.

    It's important to make a note of your resolutions somewhere; your journal, for example. That way, you'll feel a step closer to achieving your goal, as it would look more plausible on paper. Plus it'll help you remember it better, especially if you dedicate a section of your journal to your resolutions and refer to it frequently. A fun activity you can try, especially if you have multiple resolutions, is to grab a piece of cardboard paper, write down your resolutions in an artistic way and decorate. Use glitter, use images. If your goal is to quit smoking for example you can write things like 'Smoking is harmful to me and to my peers' along the border. Put it somewhere like the kitchen, where you'll see it often.

    Write down the resolutions in bright colorful inks on a clean sheet of paper and hang it where you can see it every day. First thing in the morning, make a plan to stick to the resolutions and the last thing at night, reflect back and see if you stuck to them.

    Writing down resolutions along with their benefits is helpful; better yet is posting them in places (bathroom mirror, TV, desk) to remind you of the benefits of your resolutions. A reminder to eat healthy foods on the refrigerator is a great example.
