Resolutions for the New Year – 2016

I love to reach about Christians who make resolutions to following and grow in their committment to Christ.  Many of us know that Jonathan Edwards made many resolutions that he kept because we are all live by the resolutions we are constantly making.  You can read about Jonathan Edwards and his resolutions here, here, and here.    You can also read more about the process of making resolutions (promises to yourself) here, here, here, and here.  I wanted to find out principally what people today do that keep and follow through on their commitments and resolutions to themselves and others.  Here are some of the best tips I have found from people who successfully keep their New Year’s resolutions:

1.  THEY KEEP RESOLUTIONS TOP OF MIND ALL YEAR

2. THEY MAKE IT INTO A DAILY HABIT

3. THEY DON’T MAKE RESOLUTIONS ABOUT THINGS THEY “SHOULD” DO BUT ABOUT THINGS THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

4. THEY MAKE SURE OTHERS WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

5. THEY TRY TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO JOIN THEM

6. THEY ATTACH A NUMBER TO RESOLUTIONS

7. THEY KEEP A JOURNAL TO TRACK PROGRESS
