1.\u00a0 Be Realistic<\/span><\/h3>\n

The surest way to fall short of your goal is to make your goal unattainable.\u00a0For instance, resolving to NEVER eat your favorite food again is setting you up to fail. Instead, strive for a\u00a0goal that is attainable, such as avoiding it more often than you do now.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Plan Ahead<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t make your resolution on New Year\u2019s Eve. If you wait until the last minute, it will be based on your mindset that particular day.\u00a0Instead, it should be planned well before December 31st arrives.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Outline Your Plan<\/span><\/h3>\n

Decide how you will deal with the temptation to skip that exercise class or have that piece of cake. This could include calling on a friend for help,\u00a0practicing positive thinking<\/a>\u00a0and self-talk, or reminding yourself how your \u201cbad behavior\u201d will affect your goal.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Make a \u201cPros\u201d and \u201cCons\u201d List<\/span><\/h3>\n

It may help to see a list of items on paper to keep your motivation strong. Develop this list over time, and ask others to contribute to it. Keep your list with you and refer to it when you need help keeping your resolve.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Talk About It<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t keep your resolution a secret. Tell\u00a0friends and family members who will be there to support your resolve to change yourself for the better or improve your health.\u00a0The best-case scenario is to find a buddy who shares your New Year\u2019s resolution and motivate each other.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Reward Yourself<\/span><\/h3>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that you can eat an entire box of chocolates if your resolution is to eat a better diet.\u00a0Instead, celebrate your success by treating yourself to something you enjoy that doesn\u2019t contradict your resolution.\u00a0If you have been sticking to your promise to eat better, for example, reward yourself with\u00a0new\u00a0fitness clothing<\/a>\u00a0or by going to a movie with a friend.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Track Your Progress<\/span><\/h3>\n

Keep track of each small success. Short-term goals are easier to keep, and each small accomplishment will help\u00a0keep you motivated<\/a>.\u00a0Instead of focusing on losing 30 pounds, focus on losing the first five. Keep a food journal to help you stay on track, and reward yourself for each five pounds lost.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Don<\/span>\u2019t Beat Yourself Up<\/span><\/h3>\n

Obsessing over the occasional slip won\u2019t help you achieve your goal.\u00a0Do the best you can each day, and take one day at a time.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Stick to It<\/span><\/h3>\n

Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity to become a\u00a0habit<\/a>\u00a0and six months for it to become part of your personality. It won\u2019t happen overnight, so be persistent and patient!<\/p>\n

10. Keep Trying<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you have totally run out of steam when it comes to keeping your resolution by mid-February, don\u2019t despair. Start over again! Recommit yourself for 24 hours. You can do anything for 24 hours. The 24-hour increments will soon build on each other and, before you know it, you will be back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
