My intentions are always good, yet, after about a week, I'm back to my old eating habits. If I don't succeed this year, I'll never make another New Year's resolution. Losing weight, stopping smoking, being a better person, becoming more financially responsible, spend- ing more time with the kids: All of these are classic New Year's resolutions that often are proclaimed out of social pressure to make a resolution. Unfortunately, many--if not most--resolutions are abandoned shortly after the New Year. In theory, making and pursuing resolutions, New Year's or otherwise, can be a good way to develop a behavioral pattern of discipline and achievement. How- | ever, making aresolution first requires setting a specific goal. For instance, there isa difference in saying "I want to lose weight" and "I want to losc 10 pounds." A specific target lays a more firm foundation for develop- ,ing a plan of attack and for monitoring your progress along the way. After you've sct your goal, you are best advised to concentrate on three essential qualities: planning, com- mitment and perspective, in that order. Just as a person would plan a wedding or a dream vacation, so too should he or she planon how to achieve a stated goal. In your case, given your historical try/fail ~ cycle with resolutions, you should ask yourself several questions during the planning process: 'Can I realisti- . cally lose 10 pounds?’ 'Do I have the discipline to succeed?’ "Do I really want to succeed?’ and 'Am I willing to sacrifice?" Effective planning will almost always provide a person witharoadmap for success. Devising a timeframe is helpful, since it sets some boundaries and establishes certain limitations, in terms of what you realistically can or cannot do. Write down all the steps involved in aounplishing your goal and follow those steps faith- ully. Being mentally prepared and committed to your New Year's resolution is perhaps equally as important as planning. Clearly, losing 10 pounds will require a certain amount of sacrifice on your behalf; however, in order for you to shed those pounds, you must remain focused. As the saying goes, No pain, no gain’: Think in terms of the end result, and work towards that end. Keeping a good, well-balanced perspective also will help you to achieve your goal. Remeber, though, that with any success, there are drawbacks: Don't be too hard on yourself. If you do happen to experience a setback, all chances for success have not been ruined. Start the process over and build on past experiences. You might consider rewarding yourself for small and large suc- cesses along the way; however, those rewards should be positive and helpful. Sceking the assistance or advice of others--whether it be loved ones or professionals--can help you to keep that perspective. For instance, a person who wishes to stop smoking should consider enrolling in a smoking- cessation program. Likewise, a person who wishes to stop drinking should consider joining Alocholics Anonymous. In the United States and in many other cultures, the start of a new year typically is a time for reflection and self-scrutiny. People tend to look at where they were last year or five years ago, and they think about how changes to their behavior might allow them to better control events in the coming year. Setting goals gives pcople hope, while also empowering them to change them- selves or at least to change certain elements of their lifestyles. However, in order for goals to be met, they must be specific and realistic, and should be accompanied by a well-planned, committed course of acton.
