ReSolution/ReVolution: How to Make and Keep Your New Year Resolution

“Don’t let anything STOP you from reaching your goal…”

Did you make a New Year Resolution for 2020? Some people frown upon people who make Resolutions every year; however, there is nothing wrong with having resolutions to help guide you throughout the year. According to Wikipedia, a New Year Resolution is a tradition, in which a person resolves to change an undesired traits or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal, or otherwise improve their life.

It has been specified that, by February, most resolutions die down and are forgotten about. Hmm, why is that? Could it be because some people set unrealistic resolutions/goals? We all know that making resolutions or making goals can be achievable, but they must be done the right way.
In order to set a more effective resolutions, one must first understand, the importance of a β€œrevolution.” Yes, a REVOLUTION, meaning to β€œmake a CHANGE”! In my opinion, a β€œResolution” and β€œRevolution” must go hand and hand for your goal(s) to be effective and achievable.
Second, if you are not willing to put in the work to accomplish your resolutions and or goals, then they will not be achieved. When making resolutions/goals, you must be willing to MAKE a CHANGE, CREATE a PLAN, and FOLLOW the PLAN. Having a plan helps you to establish a foundation or a blueprint to help you reach your goals.

When making a goal, it’s good to use the S.M.A.R.T. Goal Criteria:


S.pecific- Set and state a clear goal.
M.easurable- Set a goal you can evaluate and monitor the progress of.
A.ttainable- Set a goal that’s challenging but possible to achieve.
R.elevant- Set a goal that make sense and will improve you.
T.ime Based- Set a deadline/date when exactly you want to accomplish your goal.

Lastly, when setting your RESOLUTION (goal), it is IMPERATIVE to surround yourself around likeminded individuals who want to make a REVOLUTION (change) and achieve a goal or the same goal as yourself. πŸ™‚Β

  3. I really need to write my goals down. I have ideas but have not set clear plans on how to accomplish the goal. This motivated me to be more intentional in my revolution.
