1. Make attainable goals

Think about all the resolutions that you had set for yourself in the past before you start jotting down newer ones. Look at the rate of success you achieved with your previous resolutions. If there is a goal that has been consistent on your list but you have not achieved yet then try to maybe lower the scale of your goal. For example, if your goal was to read 50 books in a year, bring the number down to probably 20 or 30.

2. Share your resolutions

The people who are close to you can help you to abide by your results. It is a better option to involve your friends and family in your resolutions.

For example, you and your family members can plan for daily 30 minutes of exercise or walking. These are fun and enjoyable while also making you closer to achieving your goals.

3. Reward yourself

When you inch a step closer, make sure you pat yourself on the back. However, make sure that your rewards do not undermine your overall progress. If you are trying to cut down on sweets then make sure you go on for a month without any. In the end, you can indulge yourself in a tiny slice of your favourite pastry or chocolate. This can be a fun way to motivate yourself throughout the year.
