Happy New Year - what are you going to change?

The new year often brings about the inspiration to change a behavior or to start doing something that is beneficial.  These are known as new year's resolutions.  

Often, these resolutions are not upheld because we rarely develop a plan to achieve our objectives, or we put little or no effort into it.

If you have decided on a new year's resolution, here are a few points to consider that may help you be more successful:

1.  Write it down.  Spell it out in a journal or on a sheet of paper, and get detailed with it.

2.  Tell someone about it.  This builds in a level of accountability. 

3.  Take action.  The goal will not make itself happen, so you must take action.

4.  Resources.  Align your internal strengths, and outside resources to bring this resolution into your reality.
