Hello, 2013

Happy New Year to all the people around the world. Hope that you have a safe and at the same time, a joyful welcome to the new year. People had a perception that New Year is equivalent to new life. Remembering the good and erasing the bad last year and start the new year with positive good vibes. Motivations to change some habits and attitudes and try to improve one's self into someone better. Of course, some people had their own New Year's resolution or commitments that they need to accomplish within the year. Admittedly, I had list down New Year's resolution for 3 consecutive years already. Most of my New Year's resolution or I conveniently called "Things to fulfill this year" are successfully achieved. For example, last 2010, I wrote that I will lose at least 5 kgs. and fortunately, I did. However, some have not yet been fulfilled. Have you experienced like this?

Taken from savvysugar.com, to make your New Year's resolution stick:
1. Ready for Change. Be prepared for your self-improvement plans
2. Treat yourself. Set up a reward system for yourself
3. Face your weakness. Find motivation, figure it out why and how do this behavior comes up.
4. Avoid It. Don't put yourself in tempting situation
5. No Guilt Trips. Don't let yourself suffer from setbacks. Just pick yourself and keep going.
6. Positivity. Believe that you can do it. Take inspiration.

If you don't have a New Year's resolution yet but still you want to make, my advice is that think all the things about yourself, anything that sums you up such as relationships with anyone, dreams, things that you want and goals you want to accomplish now. Think over them carefully. As you list down your New Year's resolution, make it SMART; specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Write it down on a paper or even in your smartphones. The purpose is for you to be reminded and wouldn't be easily forget. Put the paper in a place where you could easily see it everyday. Don't forget to put a mark when you have achieve it. If you are persistent, after achieving a goal, set a new one.

Good Luck! Happy New Year!!!
