Happy New Year's Resolutions!

Most people make resolutions, most fail by the end of the year. Some set unrealistic goals, some focus on the negative, some use improper measurements (or don't measure progress correctly), some try to do too much too fast -- and the result is discouragement and eventually abandoning the goal.

If your goal is focused on health and wellness, any progress is positive, so how you set and measure the goals really is key.

Here are a few tips for making achievable resolutions:

• Make realistic goals
• Focus on the positive
• Make small changes progressively (not all at once)
• Measure (and reward) your progress
• Don't be discouraged by setbacks 

Make sure the goal and the measurement accurately reflect what you're trying to achieve as your higher level goal.
