How To Keep That New Year’s Resolution

We are winding down 2013, and with it comes that look toward the new year. We think of every Jan. 1 as a fresh start, and so we make all kinds of resolutions to be better, nicer, healthier, fitter, thinner, richer, etc. Nearly half of us will make a resolution for 2014, but less than 10 percent of us will keep it!

We resolve that 2014 will be different!

There are all kinds of resolutions to make. Many of them involve being healthier. According to USA.gov, these are the most popular New Year’s resolutions:

• Drink Less Alcohol

• Eat Healthy Food

Some great advice for sticking to that resolution, whatever it may be, is to be specific. Don’t just say ‘be healthier.’ Say, “I will work out 3 times per week.” Another is to put that goal in writing, and then track your progress so you can see how far you’ve come.
