While I know how easy it is to get off track when tackling a new challenge, I was surprised to learn that most New Year’s Resolutions don’t last beyond the end of the month. Sticking with a new goal can be hard but this year, Church & Dwight has a few tips to help make it easier no matter what you’re trying to accomplish in 2015!
Spread the Word
Share your resolutions with your friends and family! Not only will you gain support from loved ones, but it also encourages you to keep yourself accountable.
Set Yourself Up for Success
With the new year we tend to set overly-ambitious goals for ourselves, but sometimes creating smaller goals over the duration of the year will get you the same results. If you’re looking to get more fit and healthy, take it one step at a time: drink an extra glass of water everyday, take the stairs and make sure you take your daily multivitamins. Taking a vitamin may seem like a chore, but with deliciously easy-to-chew Vitafusion™ MultiVites gummies it will feel more like a treat! Before you know it, minor adjustments will grow into effortless routines.
Have fun!
One of the best things about New Year’s resolutions is that it’s all up to you! So make it fun and get a little creative. Turn your exercise into a hobby and your organizing into a DIY project. Achieving your goals will feel like a breeze when it’s something you look forward to.
Personally, I love the idea of making projects fun instead of tiresome. And since organizing my house is one of my major goals for 2015, I’m going to be using this advice to help me get the job done! But no matter what your goals are for the new year, remember that getting off track for a day or two doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means it’s time to reevaluate your plan, start again and move forward to success!

I agree with set yourself up for success. Don’t say I’m going to lose twenty-five pounds, instead try I’m going to lose two pounds a month, That makes it so much easier to stay on track.

having fun in the process is the best part without a little laugh here or there it gets quite boring and dull good points

DArW says
21 days into the new year, I’m on point with what I committed to changing this year. I read an article about a guy who changed his password on his computer every month and it kept him focused. I have to unlock my computer atleast 3 times a day at work so I too changed my password to give myself motivation!! Every time I type it my resolve is enforced in my mind. 🙂
Lynda Cook says
Great advice, I’m positive I can stick to mine this year or at least I hope I can, mine is to stop spending on items that we do not need and to start saving the money and second to change my eating habits!

mongupp says
the more fun you make something, the easier it is to keep i think!
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I am glad that I am passed the age of making resolutions – in fact if I want to do or change something I can do it any time of the year 🙂 I do think it helps to spread the word, it makes it less likely that you’ll give up, at least for a while.
Alison Braidwood says
I agree with the last two, but not necessarily the first. It may be just me, but as soon as I tell people I’m going to do something, I immediately talk myself out of it.
Chandra Christine O'Connor says
I did something diff this year I had a lot of constant negativity from people I was surprised acted the way they did, so for the health of my family and myself decided to not let it into our family anymore. I was to the point of having so much stress I had chest pains and my blood pressure soared.
Anna W says
I chose my resolution to not eat healthier or exercise more, I want to finish renovating my house. Something that is fun and that I will stick to.
Margot C says
Good tips. I’m resolved to ride my bike more – so I bought new tires

I always seem to fail at New Years resolutions so I usually say a goal I want to accomplish instead and I seem to do better with that. But I will take your suggestions to mind. Thanks
