Your Resolution

So you have a New Year's resolution, just like every other year... only this year you vow to stick to it, right? It's tough to stick to some of our resolutions, like saving money, losing weight, organizing the home, etc. BUT all of these goals can be accomplished with focus~ think about what you want to accomplish first, then ACT upon it! This year is your year!

THINK.
1. Is your resolution realistic?
2. How will it affect others? (Stay away from ones that may be harmful to you or others.)
3. Why did you make this particular resolution?
4. What will you gain from sticking to this resolution?
5. How can you stay focused on achieving your goal?
6. Do you have a support system to help you?
7. What will you do to maintain your resolution?

ACT.
1. Personal time. Set aside time each day to focus on your resolution (without interruptions).
2. Remind yourself WHY your goal is so important to you.
3. Reward yourself. For each day of progress, reward yourself with something special.
4. Make fun. Your resolution activity should seem fun so you will stick to it.
5. The more progress you make the easier it will be to stick to your resolution for a longer period of time. Keep up the great work!!!
6. Believe in yourself!!! You can accomplish what you desire! It just takes some work, some fun and a lot of focus! :)
