How to master your New Year’s resolutions!

By Jim Connolly | January 1, 2015

Today marks the start of a New Year. Along with the New Year will be millions of people with New Year’s resolutions… things they want to achieve.

So, here’s a simple idea, to help you make your 2015 New Year’s resolutions work.

Here’s what we know:

  • Gymnasiums will be a lot busier than usual, filled with lots of new people. Until the middle of March, when most of the new members will have quit.
  • Inactive bloggers will start posting regularly again. Until they run out of obvious things to write about and decide to quit.
  • Sales of healthy food will see a surge for the next few weeks. Until people slip back into eating convenient or fast food and quit their healthy eating regime.

Quit quitting

The best New Year’s resolution we can set for ourselves, is to quit quitting.

Make the decision to do something you know is good for you, then resolve to stick with it… for 24 hours. When tomorrow comes, resolve to do the same.

Does it work? I quit smoking [23 years ago] and drinking alcohol [29 years ago] using this method.
