1. Spend more time with family & friends 2. Fitness 3. Weight loss 4. Quit smoking 5. Enjoy life 6. Quit drinking 7. Get out of debt 8. Learn something new 9. Help others 10. Organize self more
Anyone who has ever made and broken a New Year’s Resolution can appreciate the difficulty of behaviour change. Making a lasting change in behaviour is rarely a simple process, and usually involves a substantial commitment of time, effort and emotion.
Whether you want to lose weight, stop smoking, or accomplish another goal, there is no single solution that works for everyone. You may have to try several different techniques, often through a process of trial-and-error, in order to achieve your goal. It is during this period that many people become discouraged and give up on their behaviour change goals. The key to maintaining your goals is to try new techniques and find ways to stay motivated.
