Resolutions, resolutions… do something about it! 7 steps to make your resolutions real.

It’s a new year, you began it with a bunch of resolutions. You have to get slimmer, write your blog regularly, do sports, learn a foreign language, order your documents at work, you have to be more available for friends and family, you want to stop watching too much TV and start reading books. You have to do this, you have to do that...
New Year is the best occasion to start. „Everyone does that, so will I” - you think.
You make a list. You think that you will keep your „promise”.
You wrote around 30 things on the paper. It’s not that bad. Only 30 for all the year!
First month passed by, second, third.... hmmm... you’ve read a book, yes... to your child when you put him to bed!

You’ve started to do sports... yes.... You went 3 times to the gym and you realized that lifting a beer is as demanding as lifting weights, so why bother...
The year is about to finish now, and you are destroyed, upset and guilty. You check what you didn’t do this year! Good job for being a champion of demotivation!
Does it make any sense to start every year with hope and finish with despair?
Maybe it’s time to do something right for the first time and not rumble around with thousands of ideas which will make you depressed sooner or later.
