New Years Resolutions: Why Can't We Keep Them?

New Year, new attitude, new you....right? Wrong! Every time a new year comes around, we all make resolutions to improve our well being. And the line that follows all too many after they've set their standard for the year, "This year I'm going to stick to it." Resolutions should always be measurable and attainable like any other goal we set in place for ourselves. So, if you really want to follow through with your resolution for 2010, here are some pointers.

Revisit. Is your resolution too vague. If it is, rethink your goal and be more precise about the outcomes that you want and how they can be approached.

Rephrase. Reword your resolution so that you feel confident enough that it can be attained. Trying to do too much too soon will hinder you in the long run.

Refocus. This is your committment to yourself so make it as fun and exciting as you want or need it to be.

Request Help. Now this is a big one. Don't be afraid to ask a friend or family member for help if you need an extra push.
