HOW TO: KEEP YOUR RESOLUTIONS

It's that time of year again. Out with the old and in with the new. People everywhere make New Years resolutions yet it has been determined that about 90% of people don't keep theirs...me being one of them. Every single year I fail to keep every single resolution I make and apparently so do you guys. So that being said here are six steps for keeping them.Don't worry it's not from me, it's from this article :) 
Here are the bullet points:


1. BE SPECIFIC and keep it simple. i.e. How much weight do you want to lose and how will you do it?
2. WRITE IT DOWN - every single step of it
3. MAKE TIME to actually accomplish it
4. LET GO of all negative thoughts holding you back.
5. GET HELP. Find someone you trust to keep you accountable - friend, trainer etc
6. DON'T STRESS. Feeling overwhelmed or stressed makes you more likely to slip up so relax.


PS-  if you need some inspiration read these New Years Resolutions the Buddha Might Have Made. I would be so much better off if I could just keep a few of these!!!
