Try and select a goal that is achievable and realistic don’t aim for something you know is impossible to achieve.
- Limit your resolutions
You might have a long list of things you want to do as part of your resolutions, but rather pick one and try to focus your entire energy on that specific resolution.
- Avoid repeating past failures
If you want to reach the same goals that you have tried to reach, try and spend time evaluating your previous results. Find out what prevented you from achieving your goals.
- Renew your motivation
At the beginning of the year you might feel motivated to achieve everything, but afterwards reality will kick in and you need to start achieving that goal. It is best that you remind yourself why you set your resolutions.
