How to stick to your New Year’s resolutions
Do you remember the last time you decided to set up some New Year’s resolutions? I’ll go out on a ledge and assume it was roughly a year ago. Now exactly how long did that self improving quest last? If you’re like the majority of people you set up your resolution and soon drop it within weeks. By the time you see a coin stamped with the year 2007, your mind will be the so far away from resolutions that they won’t pass through until we’re getting ready to set up the set for 2008.
So what exactly is the resolution solution? How can we keep our resolutions to improve ourselves for this New Year?
The best way to stick to your resolution is to make resolutions that you can stick with.
Instead of making a drastic resolution that you know you won’t be able to keep, why not make something that actually has a fighting chance.
If last years failed resolution was, ‘I will stop smoking.’ Perhaps you should make this year’s resolution be simply, ‘I will smoke 5 less cigarettes a day”
Frustrated because you can’t stick to your resolution to stop eating junk food? How about go with something along the lines of the 90-10 eating rule. Ninety percent of the time, eat foods that are okay for you. The other ten percent of the time you can eat grease burgers and fries. You know, the tasty stuff.
So when you resolve to improve yourself this year, make it something that you can achieve.
