The New Year, better yet, the New Decade is upon us. This is the time of year when people resolve to lose weight, quit smoking, stop procrastinating, change careers, etc. The average person sticks to these resolutions for about a month, and then they slowly fall back into their old routine. It's February now and you may be falling back into your old routine. I've found some secrets to not only sticking to your resolution, but making it easier and more fulfilling while doing it.

The first thing is, when you make a resolution, you should write down why you've chosen this resolution; why it's important to you. Don't just say I want to stop smoking, say I want to stop smoking because my grandchild has asthma and I want them to have a healthy environment when they come to my home.

Don't put pressure on yourself to be completely finished on New Year's Day, be realistic. Let New Year's be the day you begin your journey to quit smoking and not the day you must quit forever! Cut yourself some slack, forgive yourself, and move on. If your resolution is to lose weight, but you find yourself snacking on the wrong thing, don't dwell on it and just toss the diet out of the window. Forgive yourself and start fresh the following day. If your resolution is something big like writing a book or starting your own business. Write down a plan of action and break your New Year's resolution into 52 New Week's resolutions.

At the beginning of each week, give yourself small goals to accomplish that will eventually lead to that large goal. Whatever you resolve to do for the New Year, make sure it is something that YOU want to do and not something someone else thinks you should be doing. This is a sure way to fail. Give yourself a fair fight by being prepared and understand what your true desires and passions are!
