By now, many of us have made and broken New Year's Resolutions. Don't feel bad. Out of 10 people, eight won't keep their resolution for more than one month. Most resolutions involve some sort of fitness. Whether it is starting to work out, losing weight or changing a diet, they are most often directed at making us feel better about ourselves. Here are some keys to making your resolutions last: 1. Pat yourself on the back. It's hard to stick to your resolutions because benefits are delayed. 2. Avoid temptations. Avoid those places where you have overeaten, smoked, or drank and find something else to do. 3. Talk to friends and family who will support a change in behavior. 4. Stay around positive people who will encourage you. 5. Leave negative situations. 6. Finally, don't be discouraged by an occasional slip-up. Just accept the fact that you slipped and pick up again with your resolve to change.
