- Write your New Year’s resolutions in a place you’ll see them often. Try writing it on a post it note and putting it on your mirror!

- Do something tangible today to help you make progress towards your resolutions.
- Call a friend and talk to them about New Year’s resolutions. Share yours, and ask about theirs!
- Since it’s still early in the New Year, make it a resolution to try out some lucky foods for the year.
- Pick a reward for achieving your resolutions. I suggest one for each resolution, or if you have one big resolution, break it down into stages and pick your reward for each stage being complete.

3 New Year’s resolution tips
In honor of Stick to Your New Year’s Resolution Day, here are 3 New Year’s resolution tips that will actually help you stick to your New Year’s goals!
#1 – Accountability. If you know you have a hard time being accountable to yourself, share your resolutions with a trusted friend, and ask them to check in with you about it.
#2 – Make a plan. I’m sure you’ve heard Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s famous quote, “A goal without a plan is just a wish”. It’s very true. Look at your goals and see how you can make a plan of action to achieve them.
#3 – Keep track of your progress. Sometimes it can be daunting to have a lot of big goals with seemingly no end in sight. Keep a resolutions journal where you write down the progress you’ve made!
If you follow these tips you’ll have an easier time sticking to your resolutions and won’t even have to consider celebrating Ditch New Years Resolutions Day, which falls later in the month.
