According to life coach Lauree Ostrofsky of Simply Leap, one of the keys to actually succeeding at your resolutions is putting them in writing and keeping them some place you'll look every day. Of course, nobody wants to look at scribbled writing on a post-it note-- exactly where my resolutions were jotted down before--so I went ahead and created the image above.
I thought I'd let all of you guys in on the fun with the template below. Just print it on high-quality paper, jot down your resolutions and keep them close at hand.
A few other tips that I applied to my resolutions:
- Focus more on actions than outcomes. For example, my yoga goal could have said, "Look like Miranda Kerr by end-of-year." Ha! Outcomes are too often unattainable. Actions are.
- Put a number behind your goals. I tried to avoid the "once-a-month," "once-a-week" thing. Sometimes you're just too darn busy. That's no reason to get defeated. Nice round numbers give you the opportunity to make up lost time.
- Focus on stuff that makes you happy and enriches your life. Think about doing more of what you love instead of less of anything.
