Resolution time - make it last

This is the time of year when we all start thinking about our New Year's resolution. This year make one that will really stick.
The first thing to think about is what you really want to change. Don't make it too broad. Choose something specific but attainable.

Instead of saying "I'll lose weight," choose "I'll walk 30 more minutes per week." Or maybe "I'll only eat dessert on weekends."

Instead of saying, "I'll save more money," decide to cut back on one coffee at the coffee shop and save that money. Have a special place to put the money and actually put in the $3 it would have cost you to buy the coffee.

If you want to keep in touch with friends or family, choose to make one call or write one letter or email per week.

Whatever your resolution is, take it in small steps and chances are you won't be kicking yourself by February 1.

One of my resolution is to post one blog each week. You can help me by making comments or sharing stories.

Happy New Year!
