Everything is a choice!
You choose to watch TV instead of walking, or to de-stress by eating instead of talking to someone. Before you act, stop and ask yourself if this "solution" will really help you in long run.

Make yourself a priority!
You do a lot for others, but tend to neglect yourself. Give yourself the care, attention and love that you need. Your goals are important and you deserve to take time for yourself each day in order to achieve them.

Find a goal buddy!
While your support group should still be in a place, a person who is striving for the same goal can offer greater support, inspiration and accountability. He’ll count on you just as you count on him.

SPARKS’ 31 DAYS TO UNBREAKABLE RESOLUTIONS On a calendar or spreadsheet, place a BIG sticker, star or checkmark on every day that you met your goals or took positive action steps. Over time, your calendar will become a visual reminder of your progress toward that long-term goal. It will also remind you that the occasional bad day doesn’t have a major effect in the long-run.

Avoid saboteurs!
People will try to persuade you to go against your plan, whether they feel guilty themselves or jealous of you. Ignore them. Share your goals with positive people and stay away from these topics around the negative ones.

Don’t Expect Perfection!
You will mess up, make mistakes, and forget along the way. The key is persistence and a willingness to learn from your mistakes. Focus on what you have done right instead of dwelling on the negative!
*** So true – learn from the past and keep looking forward!

Start a Journal!
This can be a simple notebook or a computer document. Use it to track your progress, record your successes and learn from your mistakes. When you have a bad day, use it to remember why you chose these goals and how far you’ve come!

Enlist a Diverse Support System Instead of Just One Buddy!
These people should be encouraging or knowledgeable in helpful ways, whether swapping healthy recipes, exercising with enthusiasm, or sharing weight loss tips!
**And that’s what we’re all doing here – and it’s fantastic!

Share Your Goals With Family and Friends for Invaluable Support and Assurance!
Confiding in them is a powerful motivator for helping you remain consistent and persistent. Some may be willing to modify their own lives to help you giving up soda or watching the kids while you hit the gym, for example.

Develop an Action Plan for Every Goal!
For example, a healthy eating resolution may involve: learning more about good nutrition, visiting a dietitian, finding ways to adapt your recipes, buying containers to pack lunches, learning how to prepare new foods, and planning extra time for shopping and cooking. Don’t overwhelm yourself with every action step at once, but focus on a few things each day.

Post your written goals in places where you’ll see them often – on your fridge, in a picture frame on your desk, as a bookmark, and in your wallet. These reminders will help you stay focused and on track!
**Love this one too! Reminders of our goals – what we “see” is so often what “we” will think and follow through on!

Are your goals specific and positive? Rather than vowing “to exercise” for example, reword each goal so that it is clear and measurable: I WILL walk 30 minutes every day. I WILL complete a 5K race. I WILL do a yoga DVD twice a week
