- Make just one resolution but a firm one
Don’t make a list of 20 resolutions and stick to none by the second day of the New Year. Make only one or two resolutions and stick by them. Be it taking better care of your finances, finding love, hitting the gym 4 times a week and so on. [ Read: 100 Best and Unique Happy New Year WhatsApp Messages and Quotes { 2016 } ]

- Make a yearly plan for your resolution
Make a yearly plan that schedules your entire resolution. For example, if you are trying to lose weight and rebuild your health, you can plan your entire year in such a manner. You can decide that during the months of January to March you will consult the best dietitian and hire a physiotherapist or a trainer who would come to home for your training sessions. April to July, you can go a notch ahead and join a gym, since you would be more committed now. From Aug to December, you can go all out and do things on your own like walk, jog or join a fitness program that would help you maintain your weight loss.
- Be very specific with your resolution
Don’t aim to become next model this year, or earn a billion dollars. Be specific with your resolution. Resolve to lose at least 30 pounds this year, or get a new job, or travel to a certain country, or make at least 4 new friends and so on!
