New Years Eve

We all know how hard it is to keep those outlandish New Year’s resolutions. As each year goes by our resolutions seem to become more and more outrageous and in turn impossible to keep… or so it seems! So the New Year has just started and we are determined to keep our resolutions no matter what it takes. Then February rolls around and we are eating that late night snack and reaching for another smoke. So the question here is how do we keep our New Year’s resolutions? Here are a few tips and some helpful advice to help you do just that!

Make your own schedule…

Just because it’s the start of the NYC New Year doesn’t mean you have to start making resolutions. Why not make them when it’s convenient for you, no matter what day it is. Anytime is a good time to start improving on yourself and your life. So do yourself a favor and don’t conform by making your resolution with the rest of America. Just party the night away and say “my New Year’s resolution starts in March… or next year”.

Don’t Aim Too High…

Let’s be honest, there are so many of us who think we’re Superman and can do ANYTHING. Unfortunately our favorite super hero has his weaknesses, just throw him some Kryptonite and there is nothing super about him. Bearing that in mind we all have some form of Kryptonite so don’t beat your self up. Be reasonable and realistic. Think twice before announcing to the world that you will lose 50lbs. Take baby steps so you are less likely to disappoint yourself!

Be a Loud Mouth…

Many people agree that the best way to keep a New Year’s resolution is to keep it to one’s self. Why is that? Unless you have a tremendous amount of determination and the ability to motivate yourself, which many of us lack, your best bet is to be a loud mouth and tell everyone you know about your resolution. Think about it, the more people you tell the more support you gain. Whatever your declaration is, you are bound to break it at some point, having friends and family to support you in your resolution can be the determining factor of either making or breaking that New York New Year’s Eve pledge. The more people you tell about your New Year’s resolution the more people you must prove your accomplishments to. Proving that you can do something to yourself is always most important but it doesn’t hurt to have others push you along the way!

If all else fails remember- New Year’s Eve comes around once a year- you can always try your hand at the same resolution next year. New Year’s Eve really is the best holiday isn’t it?!
