10 Tips for Keeping a Resolution
I. Set a realistic goal. Most goals are too extreme and unattainable.
II. Think the goal through and plan it. Don't make a spur of the moment resolution.
III. Make a written plan dealing with the temptation to cheat or quit.
IV. Make a pro/con list of how the goal will impact you and your family.
V. Talk about your resolution; post it. Keeping a resolution private and secret leads to failure.
VI. Reward yourself with something special other than food.
VII. Track your progress.
VIII. Don't beat yourself up. If you make mistakes, that's okay. Take one day and one step at a time; understand there will be slips and falls.
IX. Stick to it. It takes 21 days for a new behavior to become a habit and 6 months for it to become a part of your life.
X. Keep trying. If at first you don't succeed, try again.
