How are those resolutions going?

If you're like most people, you might already be faltering in your New Year's Resolutions. But, that's not a reason to give up: it's reason to re-evaluate and recommit. Here are some suggestions from estronaut.com:

There will be a time or a period of time when you feel like giving up, or you even slip a bit. Don't beat yourself up just get back on track immediately. It is a long process to incorporate new habits into your lifestyle, but these changes are lifelong, and so must be the process of change. If you find that you can't make a change alone, try to find some help. And make sure that the people who are around you know that you are making this effort. Ask them for their help ... Revisit your original goals, and your original reasons for making a resolution.

If you haven't reached your goals, you might have set them too high, lower them and try again. Don't wait for the next new year to get started up again, reassess where you are with the change . . . see where it might not have been the best plan, and recommit.

So, if you're having trouble with you're goals, don't give up. Pull your goals out again, take a look, and decide how to make them work for you. We can do it!
