Making Good Resolutions and the Right Attitude

If you need some help in making wise resolutions and setting your mind right to sticking to them, I recommend reading the articles How to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions and 10 Tips for Keeping New Year’s Resolutions on eHow and About.com, respectively.

Briefly, they recommend to…
be realistic and aim low
keep the number of resolutions down, don’t overload yourself
plan ahead and outline your plan
tell everyone you know, so they can remind you
when in danger of failing, make a pros and cons list for motivation
keep talking about your resolutions
track your progress
reward yourself
don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, some failure is OK
make an effort to stick to your resolutions
wait until spring for making resolutions
keep trying and start anew anytime of the year.
