As the first of the year quickly approaches, you may stop and think about the New Year.\u00c2\u00a0 If you are like many other Americans, you may opt for a New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resolution.\u00c2\u00a0 But, what should it be?\u00c2\u00a0 How can you choose the perfect New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s resolution?<\/p>\n

Here are 5 Tips for choosing a New Year’s resolution that really “fits” what you want in your life:<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0 Look at the main areas of your life — what would like to have be different?\u00c2\u00a0 Choose to design a resolution that would result in this being different.<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0 Reflect on\u00c2\u00a0your chief sources of stress — which is the greatest?\u00c2\u00a0 Choose to craft a resolution that deals with this.<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0 Of this greatest stressor, what could you change in such a way that the stress would be reduced?\u00c2\u00a0 Select this change as the basis for your resolution.<\/p>\n

4.\u00c2\u00a0 Choose one resolution at a time.\u00c2\u00a0 Choosing too much and too many is overwhelming.\u00c2\u00a0 It can discourage you from persisting until you are successful.<\/p>\n

5.\u00c2\u00a0 Be realistic in your choice.\u00c2\u00a0 One mistake can be made is aiming too high.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, it is good to seek improvement, but, being unrealistic, sets you up for failure.\u00c2\u00a0 When it becomes apparent that you cannot win — cannot be successful — this\u00c2\u00a0can\u00c2\u00a0cause you\u00c2\u00a0stop the efforts all together.<\/p>\n

I urge you to use these ideas over and over to create the MOST-EFFECTIVE of\u00c2\u00a0resolutions … and see them through to success!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
