Whew, we made it!

Whew, we made it!  Now we gear up for the new year with resolutions.  The Miami Herald article in January, 2010 says that of the 40-45% of people who make New Year's resolutions or goals, only 75% are able to keep their resolutions past the first week. That means that one quarter of people who make New Year's promises do not have enough will power to stay true to themselves for seven days. Here are some tips to Stop Setting Unrealistic Resolutions:

1.      Set goals that you believe are attainable in a reasonable time frame.

3.      Set goals that will be fun to see results.

4.      Set goals that make you happy.
