Making resolutions don’t have to be a pointless exercise. It can improve your lifestyle. All you have to do is create a plan that can help you achieve it.

• Internal motivation: New Year’s resolutions should be done for yourself and not for anyone else. You are more likely to achieve your goals if you motivate yourself to do things rather than for someone else.

• Be realistic: It’s important to be realistic about your resolution. If you want to learn a new language, go for it! If you want to be fluent in a language in one year, try to reach a certain level where you can carry on a conversation with someone.

• Plan out your resolutions: Another step you can take to fulfil your resolution goals is to write them down. It’s not just about simply writing down the resolutions on a piece of paper. You need to come up with a plan to fulfil them.

• Share your resolutions: A reason why a lot of people aren’t able to achieve their goals is because they don’t share them with others. If you are able to share your resolutions with someone, they will ask you about your progress. This will motivate you to have a good answer when asked.
