Sticking to New Year’s Resolutions

Concentrate on Three of Four goals at a time.
Making a laundry list of New Year’s Resolutions is both unrealistic and will surely set you on a path towards ultimate defeat. Concentrate on three or four goals and set a time limit. Once those goals are achieved, you can then establish three or four more.

Action sparks motivation.
In order to truly stick to your resolutions, the most important step is action. Without action, you will feel motivated. Many people falsely believe that in order to act, one must have the motivation and the will power. The point is, without acting on a decision you have committed yourself to, motivation will not come. In order to stimulate motivation and will power, an individual must approach resolutions similar to approaching a new marriage or another significant change in life.

Since human beings are creatures of habit, change can often be a challenge. Yet, equipped with the knowledge that God honors faith and dedication, you can begin to take inventory of your life, write down your goals and begin a new life of change. Don’t forget to keep God at the center of all your New Year’s resolutions.
