Choose Carefully A long list of resolutions will set you up for failure. Think carefully about what you’d like to change.
Choose only one or two goals as your resolutions. Be honest with yourself. Your goals should be achievable and realistic.
Use writing as a tool to help you identify and decide upon your goals.
First, review your year. What were the high points and low points? What were your successes? What made you proud? Now think about where you can improve. Are any of these areas ripe for a resolution?
