1. Put pen to paper

Write down your resolution and put it where you can see it every day.

For example, if you want to stop snacking, hang a note on the refrigerator or pantry door. If you are hoping to start a nighttime skincare routine, stick a Post-It on the bathroom mirror.

The visual reminder helps you remember your goal and focus on it. Aside from just writing down your goal, write down the reward for achieving short-term goals.

Aside from just writing down your goal, write down the reward for achieving short-term goals. You may have a dream of paying down a credit card. For every $500 paid off, let yourself have a $50 treat! Seeing your reward in writing is the "carrot" to keeping you on task.

2. Easy does it

When you make a resolution, it helps to remember it is a change for a year, not a week. So innately, it will take time to make it a habit, and you will likely experience setbacks along the way. Mini-goals help you focus on smaller, more achievable steps.

Mini-goals help you focus on smaller, more achievable steps.

Say you want to cut out sugar. First, cut desserts. After that feels natural, replace creamer in your coffee with just cream… and so forth until you have finally cut all sugar out.

Having these small victories keeps your confidence up and provides inspiration! Plus, it's way less intimidating to think, "okay, I'm just cutting brownies out," than "I am cutting out all sugar starting today."

Rewire your mindset from an 'all or nothing' to "mini-goals" and watch your achievements pile up.

3. One is enough

While it's tempting to want to make numerous changes in the new year, picking one resolution helps you stay focused.

When we try to balance too many changes at a time, we are bound to not achieve any of them. Limiting yourself to one goal lets you put all your effort into making that one change.

After some time, your resolution may become a habit, and then you can add more.

For example, perhaps you want to remember to wear sunscreen and drink 8 glasses of water daily. Start first with one (sunscreen) and when this becomes your routine, focus on the next (water).
