Another year has come and gone and each year seems to pass more quickly than the last.  Along with every new year, some choose to make a resolution. Unfortunately, all too often the “resolution” becomes cliche.  I truly believe everyone who makes a resolution dose so with good intent but are rarely successful for 2 reasons:
1. No plan
2. No “serious” accountability

Here is an outline of a plan and I will use the example of “Joining a gym” as the resolution.
1. Set a long term goal (12 months)
~ Go to the gym 5/days weekly by December 2013

2. Set a mid term goal (six months)
~ Go to the gym 3/days weekly by June 2013

3. Set a short term goal (weekly)
~ Join a gym and go 2/days weekly
~ Every Sunday choose what 2 days you will be going to the gym and put those dates in your schedule
~ Ask a close friend to keep you accountable weekly for the first 3 months, and then monthly for the remainder of the year
~ Call that friend every Sunday and let them know what 2 days you have chosen to go to the gym

No one is going to make you go to the gym, or give you consequences if you miss a day.  This plan won’t work if you only “think” going to the gym would be a good habit to pick up.  It will work if you seriously want to make a change in your life.  Don’t let your resolution be a cliche, make it a reality :).  Please email me with any questions because I would love to help you in any way I possibly can!! Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2013 🙂
