Does any of that sound familiar? It’s a list of the top 10 resolutions for 2015.

Feeling defeated at the start of a new year is no way to start. Use these three tips to kickstart your year and successfully achieve your New Year goals.

In spite of our lofty goals, it turns out that we are better at making resolutions than actually keeping them.  How do I know? Well, for one, the majority of New Year’s resolutions are broken by the third week in January. And of those who stick with it, only one in ten people actually achieve their goals.

But don’t despair.

There is good news!

Today I’m over at One Word 365, talking about a better way to approach your New Year goals. Join me and read the full post here.
