Time for New Year's Resolutions - Again!?!

According to Statistic Brain, 45% of Americans usually make a New Year's Resolution, yet only 46% are successful after 6 months (and quite frankly, that sounds surprisingly high to us).  

Then why bother - doesn't it sound like a losing battle?

There's at least one really good reason - people who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don’t explicitly make resolutions. 


So, if you're someone who takes pride in personal accomplishments, then this New Year's Resolution/Goal-Setting thing may be worthwhile.  Jeff Boss, a contributor to Forbes offers 7 tips to help you get and stay motivated to succeed with this year's resolutions:

1. Use imagery
   
2. Take a selfie
   
3. Use post-it notes
   
4. Make a “me” list
   
5. Make a “motivation list” 
   
6. Appoint an accountability partner
   
7. Find a mentor or coach
