Set Realistic And Achievable Goals
Set goals that will not look like a joke. Such as an ambition that will require time to accomplish. Like saying you wanna be the president of your country without even being a politician or in a party by the end of the year. Realistic goals mean you have a calculation and projection about a visible and reasonable achievement by the end of the year.
Create the Environment
Create an environment that will support your resolution. You could be dealing with an addiction and that will take a lot of effort to conquer. So if it always comes when you are alone try not to be left alone or find yourself in a solitary state to fight the craves. If they are caused by your hanging out with certain friends then you start cutting them off now.
Start! Now don’t wait till the 1st Of January
Start now don’t wait for 1st Jan. The mistake a lot of people make is waiting till it’s first January before they can start. It doesn’t always work that way. When breaking out of an addiction or picking up a new habit you have to start Now and start practicing. When you are used to something for too long it takes time for the body to adjust or reset. So start now
Create New Distractions or Passion
Look for something that will be an alternative to what you want to stop such as a passion or habit. If you want to stop smoking, look for something that can replace your smoking habit like a new passion or skill to distract you. If you always feel like smoking when you are tired then opt for a sleep or something different and stick to it. Yes, it’s not going to be easy at first but start. You might be surprised it won’t be as difficult as it seems.
