Yes. Despite previous years of making and breaking New Year's Resolutions, there is still hope to make this year, the year when your resolutions will stick", according to a Montreal Psychotherapist

    MONTREAL, Dec. 30 /CNW Telbec/ - "The low percentage of successful New
Year's Resolutions are more likely due to lack of planning and effective
strategies, rather than a lack of motivation or ability; as many people
think.", according to psychotherapist, Rhonda Rabow, M.A.

    No matter how many times you have tried and failed, these 10 proven tips
can make this year, your year of success.1. Make it a realistic goal
       Planning to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week is more likely to be successful
       than planning to lose 30 lbs in 3 weeks.

    2. Make sure the goal is meaningful for you. Don't say you will lose
       weight to please your husband or wife. You have to want to do it for
       yourself.

    3. Focus on short- term goals
       Research shows that short- term goals lead to better performance,
       greater confidence and more success than long- term goals.
    4. Create a plan to succeed and write it down.

       Research shows that goals that are written down have a 90% greater
       chance of success than those kept as thoughts.

    5. Wire yourself for success! If you are planning to lose weight, start
       off by eliminating fatty snacks and sweets from your cupboards and
       fridge. Shop with a list. Look for a gym that is close by and open at
       times that fit in with your schedule.

    6. Your thoughts create your reality!
       The average person has 60,000 thoughts per day, 87% of them are
       negative and most of them are the same thoughts you had yesterday
       Don't let negative thoughts sabotage your efforts.For more tips, please go to www.rhondarabow.com or email [e-mail]
