New Years Resolutions

Four Steps to Keep Yours!

Take Responsibility

Make the commitment, adopt a “can-do & will-do” attitude. Know that

challenges will arise, make a plan to overcome them. A stormy, cloudy day does not have to turn into a gloomy day for your progress.

Define & Plan

Identify the steps you need to take to meet your specific goal. If your goal is

to save a certain amount of money, maybe its best to leave your credit

cards at home. You could also make a monthly ‘payment’ to your savings

account just as you would a utility bill.

Say “No”

Often times the busyness of life is enough to throw our goals off track. Know when you need a

break from your schedule. Feeling rested and refreshed will give you strength to press forward

in your goal.

CommunicateShare your goal and plan with a

few close friends and family members. They may have similar goals to yours. Share the learning curve of re-forming your habits

with them. Problem solve together and celebrate milestones together.

You may also want to keep a personal journal. Journaling keeps a record of accomplishments and

challenges alike. Reflecting on your written feelings often

exposes a new truth or lesson you may have otherwise missed!
