Top tips for keeping your New Year’s Resolutions

We all start the new year with the best of intentions, making lists of resolutions in which we vow to form good habits and achieve new goals - but how many of us actually manage to keep them?
 
Here at One Stop Language Solutions, we are determined to stay on track! Today (17^th January) is known as ‘Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day’ because so many people have given up by this point, so we’ve collected some helpful tips for us all to keep in mind:
 
1. Prioritise
Concentrate on the most important things that will really make a difference. Don’t make your list too long as you simply won’t have the capacity to tackle everything effectively.
 
2. Be realistic
Make sure your resolutions are specific and achievable – it’s good to be creative and challenge yourself, but don’t be unfocused or over-ambitious.
 
3. Plan
Your resolutions shouldn’t be a last-minute wishlist compiled on New Year’s Eve. Think ahead and include them in your strategic planning for the year.
 
4. Share your goals
It’s well known that if you talk about your resolutions with other people and share your progress, it helps you stay committed and motivated.
 
5. Celebrate progress
Set milestones so that you can track progress and feel a sense of achievement (maybe even get a reward?) when you reach them.
