With the holiday’s practically over, all the ho ho ho’s and ha ha ha’s will turn into old lang syne’s and “should all acquiescence’s be forgot?” and that will follow by those tricky new year’s resolutions.

Believe or not, 85% of people who make resolution actually don’t hold them up by year’s end.  Which is horrible since you waste all that time create one, and you won’t even try to see it through.

The idea behind it is that; with a new year bring’s new beginnings, a fresh start to a new year.

Most resolutions features losing weight and working out more, becoming monetary stable in an monetary environment, and quitting smoking.

A resolution is a goal that you want to meet.  The problem of keeping up with it is enjoyment.  Some people just fall short or drop the goal all together because they are not having fun doing it anymore.

Enjoyment and no enjoyment will hold us personally reliable in the goals either short-term or long-term.  Best way to keep up with it is to keep pushing yourself, challenge yourself ever so often to get you off that tredmill and mouse wheel and doing something different to keep you on track.

For example, if your on a gym routine take a day off ever so often or reduce the time your in there if your busy to avoid burnout’s or just to get yourself active.

Another example is smoking or tobacco, don’t quit cold turkey; majority of the time it will backfire.  Slowly weem yourself off of it.  Reduce your tobacco input every other week or something so you won’t be faced with a rebound-effect and return to how you were prior to quitting.

One simple way to be successful with resolutions is this; keep it short and sweet.  No need to have five hundred goals because, odds are you won’t remember half of them and the other half you’ll quit the other half due to stress to keep up with it, (I found myself in this once)

Usually one or two would be good enough to maintain and work around.

As we watch Dick Clark’s (personally I think it’s Ryan Seacrest’s) New Year’s Rocking Eve this year; and your pondering on what your resolution might be; take a look at this quote from Thomas Jefferson:

“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his [or her] goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude”
