Talk about your resolutions

Sometimes our goals and resolutions may be too personal, but try to share your general resolutions with your friends and family so they can assist you in achieving them and support you throughout the year.

Another great way to share your resolutions would be to have a buddy who shares the same goals as you so you can both support and motivate each other to achieve your goals.

Track your progress

Remember, short-term goals are easier to keep. Keep track and note down each small success you make as it is an indication of you getting closer to your bigger goal and resolution.

Do not beat yourself up
