Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Perhaps you want to get more exercise, study a few more hours per week or make a couple of new friends.
Unfortunately, a lot of people lose their motivation as the days and weeks go by. In fact, studies show that less than half of those who make resolutions sustain them past six months.
One way to improve your odds is to build your resolution into your daily activities. If you want to get more exercise, for example, then resolve to take the stairs each morning and afternoon on your way to your classes.
Or maybe you’d like to stop drinking soda and have a few more fruits and vegetables each day. For some great tips on eating well, check out www.choosemyplate.gov.
Whatever your resolution may be, a pertinacious (see definition below) approach will help guarantee your success.
Speak your mind: What do you think is the best way to adhere to a New Year’s resolution?
PERTINACIOUS: Firmly adhering to an opinion, purpose or course of action.
