Not wishing to sound negative, but around about now you are likely to have "broken" one of your new year's resolutions. You are in good company. Many other people are in the same boat as you!
Plan your success
Part of the problem is that resolutions are often decided without much thought of the process needed to achieve them. They are usually something you really want to do. They might be totally new, or something that you haven't quite cracked yet. By their nature they tend to be difficult to achieve successfully. New years resolutions are usually good wishes that if we could wave a magic wand would get us fitter, lose weight, get promoted etc. So, I believe it's perfectly normal to have "broken" them already. Although, I don't feel that the word broken is quite the right one to use.
Take action
I have found that if I want to make a real resolution – one that I have a chance of achieving - then there are 10 questions I need to answer to develop a powerful action plan. You can access action planning template here.
Grab a coffee (I'm partial to hot chocolate) and set some time aside to work through the checklist. After all it's only fair to give yourself a fighting chance to be successful. Have something to celebrate about your new year's resolutions for a change.
Happy action planning!
