How To Keep Your New Year's Resolution

Did you make a resolution this year? Want to lose weight, gain a new skill or organize your house? Whatever your resolution is, here are some tips to help you keep it throughout the year.

1. Make it attainable. Be sure that your resolution is attainable. Sticking to your monthly budget is attainable, making a million dollars may not be.

2. Tell everyone. If you tell everyone about your resolution, you are more likely to keep it. If you want to quit smoking, you can even go as far as telling your friends that if they see you smoking, you'll give them $50.

3. Be specific. If you want to get fit in the new year, set a specific goal. For example, instead of saying you want to get fit, say you want to lose 10 pounds and tone your arms and legs.

4. Start small. Create small goals for yourself. If you want to organize your house, assign one room to every month. So in January you organize your kitchen, in February you organize your bedroom, in March your organize your office, in April you organize your garage and so on.

5. Write it down. It's important to motivate yourself throughout the year. Write your resolution down on every month in your calendar. Don't let yourself forget about your resolution as the year goes on.
