The next time I post it will be 2012. It’s traditional to make New Year’s resolutions, and people always talk about how most resolutions don’t stick. One way to succeed with your resolutions is to make only a limited number of them – say, three or less. The more resolutions you make, the less likely you are to stick with them.
Another suggestion is to make resolutions that really matter to you. If it’s something you don’t really care about, or aren’t overly invested in, you probably won’t stick with it. Finally, make resolutions that are do-able. Set yourself up for success, not failure. Make it something you can measure, so you know you are doing it. For example, “I will take the reusable bags into the grocery store and use them every time I shop” rather than “I will be more environmentally conscious.”
Here’s an article about setting goals (or resolutions) this New Year’s. Have a safe and fun New Year’s Eve and a very happy, healthy and successful 2012!
