Step1

What do you value?
- Loyalty
- Dependability
- Prepared
- Rules
- Respect
As you set your resolutions, how can you make them traditional and routine? Turn your intentions into a series of daily steps or rituals and reward yourself each time you make a positive step in the direction of your goal. Golds like feedback to make sure they are on the right path so find an accountability partner to help keep you on track.

Step2

What gives you joy?
- Organization
- Lists
- Control
- Follow rules
- Family
One way to make your resolutions stick for Golds is to make a list of resolutions and keep the list on the refrigerator or other areas where they can be viewed regularly.

Step3

What gives you stress?
- No structure
- No rules/procedures
- Being late
- Unplanned change
- Not belonging
To help lesson the stress, develop a plan with your resolutions. Set realistic goals so you can actually complete them. Even if you have to limit your goals to maybe only 1 or 2, that's okay. It is very important for your self-esteem to complete the goal. Once completed, set more goals.

Step4

Golds will finish the work before play...guaranteed Strengths
- Organized
- Structured
- Family oriented
- Coordinators
- Respect authority
Pick one to two strengths to improve. This will give you the biggest impact and you will be more satisfied with your results. Pick just one weak area to improve. Follow Ben Franklin's example and just pick one weak area at a time, improve it for a set period of time, and then move to another area to improve. Keep trying to improve your weak traits at least 1%, a level you can achieve, then move on.
