By this point you have probably already set your New Year's resolution.  Did you know that 75 percent of people successfully keep their resolution for just a few short weeks?  If you ask us, that's not much of a resolution!  What starts as a good intention rarely has the chance to become impactful.   2014 is going to be different.  We've gathered some tips to change the way you think of resolutions and help you stick to it!

1: Set modest goals.  It is easier to stick to something that you can realistically attain.

2: Resolve to change habits.  Set short term goals to keep you motivated.

3: Believe in yourself.  Visualize yourself a year from now as the person you are working to be. 

4: Expect slip-ups.  No one is perfect.  Sometimes temptation or laziness gets the better of us.  Forgive yourself and move on.

5: Carry a reminder.  Write your goals and steps to achieving them on an index card and carry it in your purse or jacket.  When you need a little motivation, you'll have it.

6: No time like the present.  Stop putting it off.  A year from now you'll be wishing you started today!
