Answer by: Lou Mueller, Utah State University Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, San Juan County If you made New Year's resolutions for 2009, you may already be struggling to maintain your resolve, in a research study of 1,000 people, 98 percent said they were unable to keep resolutions. But even if your commitment is crumbling, don't give up. Those" who succeed in changing their behavior exhibit six strategies that lead to success. Research shows that implementing a combination.of any four of the following tactics can help you follow through. • Create an environment that will help you achieve your goal, if you resolve to cut spending, leave credit cards home or consider canceling all but one, and stay away from shopping malls and shopping Web sites. If your goal is to lose weight, stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid fast foods, which can contribute significantly to obesity. • Identify motivation. Make sure your motives align with your values. What matters most? Perhaps a resolution to do a kind deed daily for someone else or to spend more time with family and friends is more meaningful to you than a self improvement goal. • Increase your skills. If your resolution is to save money, gain expertise by learning more about budgeting and personal finance. • Enlist the help of others. Get reinforcement from family, friends and colleagues. They can boost your confidence when willpower starts to slip. • Stay away from social situations and people who mav not be supportive. Two resolutions that make the top ten list every year include "stop smoking" and "stop drinking." If you are working on either of these, this tip is particularly important for you. • Reward yourself. Measure small milestones and be sure to celebrate success. Before giving up on your New Year's resolutions, pick four of these strategies and get back in the game. You can still achieve your goals. Home Country Slim Randies Annette George, owner of the Soup *R Market, picked up the list of her New Year's resolutions: 1. Replace cracked glass on the meat cooler. 2. Walk two miles each morning before work. 3. Lose 15 pounds by summer. 4. Take a class in Spanish. She thought about the kind o f person she'd be at this time next year with all those things done, and it made her smile. Then she looked out the window at the snow, and crossed Off number two. "Each morning" was Just too .... too, inflexible. It's always best, she thought to make promises you can keep. Annette tapped her T the pencil. ' ^'-n^ The Spanish class was in the city, and with gas prices being what they are ../well, she could always pick up a Spanish grammar book at the Read Me Now bookstore. Number 4 reluctantly had a line drawn through it. '• You kh'ow, that glass has been cracked on the meatcooler for six years now, and it has never caused any kind of health threat. So the line up the glass •causes a slight distortion as a shopper looks at a pork chop. So what? And have you seen what they get to replace that glass?, The penoll drew again, slowly but deliberately. This left number three: lose 15 pounds by summer. This is one she will not scratch off. She remembers sitting by the swimming hole on Lewis Creek last summer watching the kids swimming. Next summer, she'll swim with them. She will lose those 15 pbunds. How? Well, by ... eating better. Sure. Maybe one of those chocolate milkshake supplements each morning. Well, better not say each morning, but ... whenever, you know. And walking. How much? Who knows? But walking. Yes. Walking. Losing 15 pounds. By summer. She smiled and decided to celebrate with a candy bar. Only one, of course. Life is good. Brought to you by 3Rivers Archery, the traditional folks.
