Now that we’re halfway through the first month of the first year, where are our resolutions now?

When it gets to a certain point,we realize we’re just using recycled versions of our old resolutions. They may not always turn out the way we want them to, but at least they help when they’re there! Here are some tips to keep the resolution train running:

-Post a picture of your goal! What really keeps you on the ball is motivation, and a visual just may do that. If you want a dog, but you need to keep your room clean to do it? Post a picture of your favorite dog breed on your wall, and every time you’re starting to give up, refill yourself with hope and motivation.

-Reward yourself. Everytime you reach a goal, give yourself a treat. If you’re on a diet? Have a cookie. Being a better citizen? See a movie! These little pick-me-ups can go a long way on the road to success.

-Allow slip-ups. At the start, it may be unbearably hard to keep up your resolutions, but just because you slip up once, don’t beat yourself up about it. Don’t make it a habit, that’s for sure, but allow a little leeway.

So, how are your resolutions going? Keep going, and keep trying. It’s never to late to reach for the stars!
