It's almost March 2013. Can You believe it?!
How many of you made New Year's resolutions that you have already broken?
Lose weight. Exercise more. Spend more time volunteering. Resolutions so many of us make January after January—and manage to break before the Valentine's Day candy hits the drugstore shelves. Unfortunately for many of us the promises we make to others seem to have a higher value than the promises we make to ourselves. The way to fix this, is to get others involved in our goals. The following suggestions may help you to keep from seeing those resolutions go as flat as that New Year's champagne:
• Announce your goal – Share your New Year's resolution with friends and relatives you trust. Personal pride may be enough to keep you from going back on your word.
• Schedule it – List those commitments you've made at the gym or the food bank like any other appointments in your calendar. Seeing them on paper can make them just as sacred as getting your dog to the vet.
• Get a buddy – Enlist a friend to diet along with you, or a co-worker to join you in a daily lunchtime walk around the block. Having company can make any commitment seem more like fun than work.
• Set a goal – I will save enough money this winter to pay for that cruise I've been coveting....I will lose those pounds by Easter. Having your eye on a specific goal can make it easier to stay on track.
• Reward yourself – Know that if you accomplish your goal, you will absolutely reward yourself—with that beach vacation or size-smaller wardrobe or whatever means a lot to you. Granted, the achievement should be reward enough—but there's nothing wrong with a little self-indulgence now and then if it keeps you on the straight and narrow.
I hope this information is useful.
