What if you had a dime for every resolution you’ve made throughout the years.  How rich would you be now?

Perhaps, you have come to know that choosing the right resolution and sticking with it are KEY to being successful where accomplishing New Year’s resolutions are concerned.  What resolution would you like to accomplish for 2010?

If you want to make a resolution for the New Year, here are three tips for keeping it:

1.   Write your resolution(s) down. Some people only verbalize their resolutions. The problem with that is you can forget what you said after the first week. It may seem scary, but putting your resolutions on paper makes them real to you. It is a commitment that is needed if you want to succeed.

2.  Find a support system. This is crucial to any type of change in your life. Having someone who will keep you accountable and encourage you when you miss the mark is one way to stop you from quitting altogether. Rely on family, friends and coworkers to give you that swift kick when you need it.

3.  Use online tools. These are popping up everywhere, e.g., weight-loss resolutions. Many of the online tools are free to use. Sites like SparkPeople offer informative articles, message boards, meal planners, video resources and online food diaries to keep you going from day one.
