Remember this time last year when you wanted to solve a problem. Did you set a realistic goal and take small steps toward a solution or did you go back to the same old same old? Some habits are hard to change; some new actions are hard to develop. If you still have the same problem this year, you may need to resolve, make your goal more realistic, and take it step by step.
Sometimes we may want to reduce or eliminate a negative. Sometimes we may want to improve a positive. Sometimes we may want to add something new to make our lives easier, healthier, or more meaningful. We also may want to help others improve their lives. The more we keep doing the right things, the less time we will have to do the wrong.
Even with determination, many obstacles may deter us from the path we want to take. We need to mentally reward ourselves each time we say no to a negative and yes to a positive. We need to forgive ourselves when our resolve is weakened. Obviously our old habits have given us some pleasure or satisfaction which makes them hard to change. We need to develop a new satisfaction and enjoy accomplishing our resolutions.
