Tips for Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions 1. Start small. It’s okay to aim high, but breaking down one massive goal into smaller goals may help you achieve your overall objective faster. 2. Share your ambitions with others. Telling a family member or a friend about the resolutions you would like to achieve will make you feel more accountable. Also, your loved ones can serve as your support system. 3. Remind yourself, “YOU CAN DO IT.” When things get tough, remind yourself of the goals you have accomplished in the past. This will serve as motivation that you have and you will finish what you set out to do.

4. If you fall, pick yourself back up. With any new challenge, there is a possibility that you may struggle or even stray from your goal. When this happens, don’t give up. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you to obtain what you want to achieve but the fact that you kept at it until you reached success. 5. Celebrate your success. No matter how big or small of an accomplishment you make toward achieving your goal, you should reward yourself. The reward can be anything from purchasing something that may help you in achieving your goal to giving yourself a simple pat on the back.
