Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions
By Relationship Barista Lissa Coffey
 Break down the year into months. Make goals for each month and check in with yourself at the end of each month to see how you're doing.
When we look at the whole year, we always think we have time, but that time goes by really fast! By looking at chunks of time, like a month, we can take a big goal break it down into manageable little goals that are easier to reach.
One step at a time, one goal at a time, one month at a time and pretty soon we've done it!
For example - instead of saying: Resolutions for 2008
- Lose weight
- Get a new job
- Find a boyfriend
Look at January, and say:
- Cut out snacks
- Take a walk every day
- Update resume
- Join a social organization
For February, it can be:
- Don't eat after 7 pm
- Join a gym and go twice a week
- Send resume out to 10 places
- Plan a mixer for new friends
Get the idea? Feel free to adjust as the time goes on, but by November — at the latest — you should be looking really good, working at a new place and hanging out with a new guy!
