How's it going? (follow-up on resolutions)

++  How are you coming along with your New Year's Resolutions?  If you are like a lot of people, you've gotten so busy, you've shoved them aside.  This is another time of year for new beginnings.  Think of commencements.  That name for a graduation ceremony means a new start, not the ending of something. 

  Here's a recap to help you "reboot" your best intentions:

• Reassess whether it is the right goal for you as you wrote it, or if it needs refinement.
• Break your goal into sub-goals that are manageable.  Do one part of it for a few weeks, until it becomes a habit, then go on to the next part. 
• Congratulate yourself for sticking with it.
• (And, if your goal was weight or fitness related, remind yourself that swim suit season is just around the corner.)
