How to keep you New Years Resolutions can be hard!

This is a big problem for most people, they make their New Years Resolutions only to find themselves not keeping them only after a short period of time. They are back to doing the same thing that the resolved that they would not do or they just simply can’t keep up with what they promised.

It is really a harsh reality that people must face when they do not know how to keep new years resolutions because frankly they try to do to much too soon.

Here is a break down on how to keep new years resolutions:

Start Simple

People want to declare things like I am going to lose 50lbs in 2 months and I am going to the gym everyday, I am going to stop smoking today, stop drinking, etc. Instead of making those giant leaps keep it simple such as, go to the gym once a week, if you are smoking 1 pack of cigarettes a day, try only smoking a half until its down to, 1 or 2 then none. Try losing 5lbs first, then 5 more until you reach your goals. Put things in bite sized pieces and watch how fast you get results.

ONLY HAVE 1 or 2 New Year’s resolutions

Most people have a huge list of resolutions to keep and how to keep New Years resolutions become almost impossible. This is what I recommend, start by only having 1 or 2 this will cut the pressure from you and also once you complete the first one you are telling your subconscious mind that you can do it. This will make it easier for you to complete the second one and boy what a great feeling that is. If you like after that, add on another, complete and so on.

Spread the word

Go out and tell all of your your friends and family about your New Years resolutions and that you need and want their help and ask them how to keep New Years resolutions. Now you do not have to follow every example that a person gives you but a least you are engaging them in your goals and maybe they just may have thought of something that might fit into what you are already doing. Once you put it out there you have people who can hold you accountable for what you say that you are going to do. Not only will you not want to disappoint yourself you will not want to disappoint them either. So go out and share it with the world. Write it down and keep looking at it every day and even give a copy to someone and have them refer back to you to see what you have accomplished. This is very powerful and it works.

Congratulate & Reward Yourself

Always, always congratulate and reward yourself, this makes you feel so good about yourself and your goals. It tells your subconscious mind that you are a success and that you can do anything that you set your mind to do. So every time you accomplish even the smallest thing, celebrate your success! Keep a journal and write down the day and time that you reached your goals and see the progress you have made along the way.
