Sticking to your New Years Resolution

With the new year right around the corner, we are all brewing up a new years resolution that we absolutely promise ourselves we will follow strictly throughout the year. But lets be honest for a moment, how many of us really stick to our resolution for all 12 months of the year? the truth is, not many, not even 20% of us! But believe it or not we all have what it take to continue our resolution until its time for the next one!

Here are Six Tips on How to Stick with your New Year's Resolutions

1. Focus on positive self-talk. Congratulate yourself every time you take a step towards your resolution goal. Be your own best cheerleader.

2. Avoid berating yourself if you should fall back or break a resolution. Just brush yourself off and start over again.

3. Stick to your resolution by considering it a promise to yourself, not a test of your willpower.

4. Avoid situations that put you in temptation's path, meaning if you're on a diet, don't go to the ice cream parlor.

5. Keep a sticky note in a prominent place so that you see it every day, reminding yourself of your resolutions. (i.e., on your bathroom mirror, next
to your bed, on the visor of your car, on the refrigerator)

6. Be realistic. Make sure your plan is a realistic one that can fit into your lifestyle. Will you really have the energy to go out for that evening exercise class? Make changes as easy and convenient as possible.
