Every year millions of people make New Year's resolutions and then fail to follow through on them. Here's a simple tip that will help you break this cycle and make your New Year's resolutions a reality.
One of the main reasons people fail to follow through on their New Year's resolutions is that a year is simply too long a time frame to work with.
For example, if you set a New Year's resolution to work out in the gym and lose 20 pounds by the end of the year, it is very easy to think,
'I've got all year to make this happen'
As soon as you start thinking like this, your resolution loses its appeal and you have no compelling reason to get started. All too often your resolution ends up in the 'someday basket'.
The secret to making your New Year's resolution a reality is to transform it into a '6 month resolution' and a '3 month resolution'.
To do this, first take your end of year resolution and divide it in half.
For example: 'I will lose 20 pounds by the end of the year' becomes…
I will lose 10 pounds by the end of June.
Next divide this in half again to create your 3 month resolution…
I will lose 5 pounds by the end of March.
You now have a goal that is only 90 days away which is much more compelling than a goal that you don't have to think about for twelve whole months.
