Only 70% of New Year's resolutions are kept - not a very good track record.
Yet we start out with good intentions, hoping we can keep those promises to ourselves. We want to be healthier, smarter and happier each new year; but by February 1st, the cold winter has deflated our plans.
How do we stay in hope when we can't even stay the course ?
It helps to have an accountability partner, someone who will keep you honest.
It also helps to exchange one habit you want to change with something else.
Another idea is to put a Post-it note on your mirror - to remind you of the resolution every morning.
And, of course, pray.
Ask God to guide you in the making and keeping of resolutions;especially the ones that draw you closer to him. That's the best resolution of all: "In 2010, I want to be closer to God."
Happy 2010 and God bless !
