Resolution Solutions!

by Andrea Chervenak

More than 70% of people make some kind of New Year’s resolution, but a very small number actually accomplish their goals. Here are some tips to help you to set realistic and attainable resolutions this year:

Give serious thought to what it is you want to change in your life. Some questions to reflect upon:

1.  Is the resolution to please others or to please yourself and improve life for YOU?
2.  Why do you want to accomplish this  goal now?
3.  Are you being realistic? Is this really something you can achieve?
4.  What specific steps would you have to take to achieve your resolution?

Once you decide what resolutions for change you want to make:

1) Write it down
2) Visualize the outcome and what life will be like when you achieve this 
3) Create a deadline
4 ) Have an action plan
5) Take action
6) Periodically review your progress
7) Try to stay motivated (pull up the picture in your mind of what it is going to feel like when you do accomplish your goal)
8) Don’t give up - you may encounter some obstacles along the way - that's ok, it will make the reward all the greater when you do achieve your goal!
9) No matter what happens choose to love and accept yourself.
