Keeping Your New Year’s Resolution

Some old advice still helps when it comes to making a resolution to live a healthier lifestyle. Whether your goal is losing some extra pounds or reducing the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine or other drugs, you need to be determined to make a change. Be ready to deal with problems that will come up, and keep track of your progress.

Keep trying to stick to your resolution, no matter how many times you fail. Most people don’t achieve their goal on their first attempt. It's helpful to give yourself credit for successes, but don’t blame yourself if you fail. Just try to do better the next time. Remember, persistence pays off.
