2. Focus<\/strong> – don’t try and do everything at once. Choose one or two changes you want to make to your life and concentrate on those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Write your resolutions down.<\/strong> Seeing them in black and white will help you to establish exactly what you want to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Only set targets that you really care about.<\/strong> If it’s not important to you, it’s so much easier to lose interest. Think about why you’re doing it – if you can’t think of a reason, it’s probably not worth doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Tell friends and family what you want to achieve.<\/strong> It’ll be harder to give up if other people are keeping an eye on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. If you do have a wobble, don’t use that as an excuse to give up.<\/strong> Put it down as a one-off and start again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Take your time.<\/strong> You don’t have to achieve all your goals on the first day. If your goal is to exercise more, start by going for a run to see how you feel, before you rush out and spend lots of money on a gym membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you didn’t set any New Year’s Resolutions this year, it’s not too late!
