Turn the Resolutions into Reality

Can you remember each New Year’s resolutions you made at the beginning of a year? Did you make good on them or did you forget about them by June? Here are 6 tips that will help you turn those resolutions into reality.

（1）__________You must get really clear about what you want to change， then define it in detail and get totally committed to doing it.

（2）__________When things are going well， your friends can appreciate your accomplishments. When you run out of steam， their cheers will re-establish your enthusiasm and help you head on.

（3）__________Letting more people know about your resolutions will help keep you from letting the desire die. Responsibility is at least lightly established and your statement is set in stone.

（4）__________Set spans of space to reach the next mile post on your journey to your great goal. Once one is accomplished， reset the clock and continue to push forward.

（5）__________Celebrating small successes on the way to difficult goals. Make sure you are fully aware of every victory and you will build up momentum that can carry you through the troubles on the road.

（6）__________If you realize that losing 20 pounds in 2 weeks is unrealistic and unhealthy， then make the proper adjustments and keep going on. It’s not about the numbers or the time; it’s the last results that matter.
