The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating right or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list 
Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.


  Check the list regularly 
Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.


  Reward yourself 
When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.


  Think positively 
Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.
