New Year’s resolutions are traditionally made at the beginning of the year and are meant to begin on New Year’s day. They start off well but few are actually completed and just remain as empty promises and dreams that are never fulfilled.
This does not have to be because there are ways to help you keep and achieve your New Year’s resolutions and goals with as little pain as possible.
So how about you?
Got a New Year’s Resolution? Do you want to learn how to keep New Year’s Resolutions and finally achieve your goal for the new year? Of course, you do, but do not worry, it is not as hard as you would think. It all comes down to one thing: how you pursue your resolutions and goals.
Seriously. How to pursue a goal is just as important as what the goal itself is: if you follow these three steps, you will be that much closer to success.
- Motivate Yourself: It is very important to motivate yourself when you make your New Year’s resolutions. All too often people have all these grand resolutions and just end up not fulfilling them…or even coming close.
Successful people know how to pursue a goal and they have a strong reason for carrying out their new year’s resolution. If keeping your new year’s resolution is tops on the “to-do” list this year, then you have to have a strong commitment to achieving it. Especially if you have decided to have a long-term one like losing weight.
Try to give yourself a reward, not food, when you have managed to lose x amount of pounds. Also, take a look at yourself in the mirror once a week and congratulate yourself on your progress.
- Make Realistic Resolutions and Set Goals to Achieve Them: Timeline goals are easier to achieve when you have a long-term resolution like improving your finances or losing weight. You can easily achieve your long-term objectives using short-term goals. This is how to pursue a goal the right way: by breaking your goal down into manageable steps.
- Write Them Down: Not only write your resolutions down but put the paper in a prominent place where you will see it every day. Every day repeat your resolutions to yourself. Keep a log of your progress and remember to reward yourself for keeping your new year’s resolutions.
When everything is in black and white it looks more real and urgent and you will feel compelled to fulfill your New Year Resolutions.
