Have you been continuing to plan out your New Year’s Resolution?  Here are some more tips to help you toward SUCCESS:

4.  Be specific. Writing down phrases like “Become more assertive” can mean anything. Where do you want to be more assertive and with whom? Instead, record something like “Go to my boss on January 4, 2010, and ask for a raise this year.”

5.  Start with small steps. No one gets from A to Z in one step. Those who try are often disappointed. If this is a weight- loss goal, begin with starting an exercise program. If you haven’t worked out in a while, this single piece of a larger goal will take some time to establish. Goals that involve cleaning up your entire home can begin with one room and then move onto to the others. Tackling a smaller step successfully fuels your drive to continue.

6.  See the big picture. This approach helps when you are feeling discouraged by disappointment. Don’t lose sight of your ultimate goal or resolution. It is still attainable even with a few setbacks.

You’ll have more to rejoice about later.
