Choosing Resolutions

When making resolutions for the new year, take your time. Periodically set time aside to think about what you really want. Carefully consider each resolution. Close your eyes, relax, and imagine succeeding at your resolution. What does it feel like?

Take time to evaluate other choices. Imagine each of the other possibilities. Until you imagine the possible outcomes, you may not realize how badly you want to change. Before committing yourself to a resolution, consider why you`d like to make this change. This is your resolution, a change that you are making for yourself, not someone else. Be sure that this is what you want.

Decide on only one or two major resolutions. Your goal is to succeed, so you don't want to over-burden yourself with too many changes at once.
