1. Set an Achievable Goal – No one knows you better than yourself, and only you have the power to decide what you are capable of. Setting a realistic goal will make actualizing it easier and once you achieve your goal, you can set a new one to continue challenging yourself throughout the year.
2. Take the time to organize - There are countless distractions that keep us from completing tasks each and every day. Whether you spend too much time online or find things that need to be done around the house before going to the gym, there are plenty of things you may not even realize are distracting you! One of them can be email, and you can reduce those tempting retail sale emails that make your phone ring and cause you to spend time and money online by using theSwizzle, a free online service that helps you unsubscribe from unwanted emails and organize your life! Once all the other aspects of your life are in order, it will be easier to concentrate on your goal.

3. Stress Free is the way to be – Putting too much pressure on yourself can actually force you to break your resolution rather than keep it. Try to keep things light while still remaining dedicated to your goal.

4. If at first you don’t succeed – Try, try again! If you find yourself breaking resolutions, all is not lost. Once you know you can get back on track, you can do it again and again, and getting back on is a lot easier than getting on it in the first place.

5. Get Inspired – Creating an inspiration board can help you stick to your resolution and remind you why you made it in the first place. Using an online bookmarking tool like Clipix can help you collect online photos, recipes, quotes, and more to stay inspired to achieve your goals for 2013.
