How to keep a New Year resolution.

Every year, countless people begin the new year with resolutions in the hopes that this year will be the best one yet.

This is a great practice, especially if you're making practical ones, such as quitting smoking, losing weight, or saving up for a killer hand bag.

But sometimes, people make resolutions that aren't practical, and may not be achievable. Like finding 'the one' or avoiding a cranky co-worker for a year.

The good news is, I'm here with a few tips to help you keep your practical resolutions and hopefully make positive changes in your life.

So, without further ado, here are my top 4 tips to keeping your resolutions in 2015.

1 - Write it down.

Write it in your diary, on your calendar, create a beautiful poster you can look at every morning to remind yourself of the positive changes you are making this year. A constant reminder will motivate you to see it through.

2 - Tell someone.

Tell a close friend, your mother, your sister... whoever is your go to person to talk about personal needs and wants. These people are often the ones who want to see the best you and who will support you through thick and thin.

3 - Start the change from day 1.

Never put something like a resolution off. Its a resolution, not a medical test(poor example, but you get the point). A resolution is personal, it's not something you can book in for and cancel. Make it happen. Start your future, today!

4 - Stay positive, and stay true.

Keeping positive can be hard. You will find rough patches in quitting smoking or weight loss, or essentially anything in which you endeavour to do. The point is to stick to it! Be positive, remember a better you means a happier you. And stay true. Stay true to who you are. Don't make a resolution about changing you as a human being, make resolutions that will improve you as a human being instead.

Hopefully these tips will help you stick to it in the new year!

Happy New Year! Be kind, have fun, and be the best you.
