ysabetwordsmithWe made it through the second week of January. This is enough to get a better grasp of progress with New Year's resolutions. It's also into the period of rapid die-off.

According to an email from Facebook, the survey found that those who shared their New Year's resolution on Facebook were 36 percent more likely to stick to it. Additionally, 52 percent of those surveyed agreed that sharing their resolutions with others is helpful when it comes to accomplishing them. In my experience, saying (or posting) things out loud definitely makes them feel more real. Plus, if other people know about a goal you're trying to achieve, it may motivate you to keep working at it so you can provide future updates on your progress.

Have you had challenges keeping up with your resolutions? If so, how did you solve them? What are your favorite ways to maintaining your motivation and momentum?
Check your goals for their positive-negative framing. Studies show that positive framing works better. The subconscious, like the universe, doesn't understand "no" very well. It grasps "do" a lot better.
