going to spend each day for the first week – reward yourself when you succeed! Don’t give up if you haven’t always hit the mark. The corollary to this resolution is to stick to your resolution! It will help if you get support from loved ones who can encourage you when you hit the weak or low spots in your life and are tempted to throw in the towel. Whatever you decide to do: learn a new language, control your temper, exercise more, stop smoking, make more friends, cut down on alcohol, you have a world of resources at your fingertips to find the very best
solutions. Don’t go rushing into decisions. Take the time to browse the internet, ask questions on social media, speak to others who have successfully achieved what you are aiming for. Find those answers that are going to be suitable for the person you are. And then make the most important resolution of them all: determine not to give up, to follow through on your decisions no matter what. The first time you manage to hang in there despite temptation or difficulty will be the hardest, but once you have succeeded, you will find that each subsequent challenge will be
easier and easier to overcome. Celebrate your victories! This will be motivation and inspiration to face the next stage. Start now: don’t put it off until “tomorrow”. Put your list up on the mirror, believe in yourself and plan for a positive 2017! Happy New Year! Don’t give up if you haven’t always hit the mark.
