BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE...

• Have a strong commitment for change
• Have coping strategies to fall back on when problems that may arise
• Set up feedback and monitoring from outside sources (friends, family, etc.) which can play an essential role in maintaining your resolution
• Set aside time to really plan out what you want and expect from yourself in your goal(s)
• Choose realistic goals
  

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESS:

• Keep diligent track of the progress you make toward your  goal(s)
• Allow room for temporary set back.  A stumble in your resolution should be viewed as just that; a stumble--not a roadblock or an excuse to quit
• Take credit for your successes (and use them to fall back on when difficulties arise)
  

IN ORDER TO SUCCEED, TRY NOT TO...

• Make resolutions at the last possible minute
• Keep your goal(s) too general
  
• Base your goals for change on what's bothering you at a temporary moment in time
• State your resolutions as "I will never do 'X' again!"
