If you want to achieve your goals and aspirations and be successful you should follow the below given steps.
Step 1: Be Mentally Prepare for the Change
Most of our habits are so ingrained and fixed that it is impossible to change ourselves overnight. So, before heading towards following your New Year's resolutions, it is necessary to prepare ourselves mentally for that impending change.
There may be many aspects of your life where there may be a lack of progress, but don't forget to appreciate yourself for the little achievements or progress you have made. Hence, find some small way to celebrate your little accomplishments.
As you think about the changes you want to bring out try to do the following:
- Try to stay positive
- Always remember that change has to be gradual
- Always start with smaller changes
Step 2: Be Practical
Instead of making resolutions like you want to lose 50 pounds by the end of the year you can decide to be more active today than you were yesterday. If you are a person who rarely exercises, then start doing simple exercises at the beginning like walking around your building block and gradually increase it. The main aim here is to build a habit step by step until it becomes a regular practice. Once you are able to put it into practice it becomes your second nature.
Step 3: Limit the Number of Resolutions

A common thing we all do is having too many resolutions. We cannot dedicate so much attention to self-improvement so setting too many resolutions will not enable us to achieve the goals. Thus, you should have a shortlist of resolutions that you can handle in the upcoming year.
Step 4: Divide Big Goals into Smaller Ones
Due to our over eagerness in setting goals, we may take on a goal that is too big to achieve. Therefore, it is better to divide a big goal into smaller goals that are possible to achieve.
Step 5: Pen down your Goals
It may be great to have wonderful goals, but it is more important to note them down in some way.
