With the New Year approaching I hope you are making realistic expectations. Most people like to make many changes so here is my suggestion for real success: 1. Make only one to two resolutions and start that day. 2. Keep resolutions specific and develop a plan on how to achieve your end result. 3. Self-check in..On the same time and day of each new week check to see if you are following your goals. If you are not, re-evaluate your position. Change is hard and old behavior is embedded with in you, start again, don't give up because of a bad week. 4. Note how you are doing by writing it down in a weekly journal. 5. Be persistant.
