3.You think by posting it on your facebook you create accountability

2.Sometimes you fall asleep vowing that you'll get up tomorrow and workout, eat healthier and put on makeup.

1.You have made the same resolution every year with no success

If you really want to accomplish your New Year's Resolution here is my advice:

1.Set the bar really low: you can always make another goal once you've reached this one... let's just focus and reaching a goal.

 Example: This year I will limit myself to 12 snacks a day. <---- Once you have 12 down, go 11.  But let's not get crazy.

2.Don't be stupid: Obviously you are not going to become a rockstar or slam poet this year unless you've actually put in work.

 Bad Example: This year I want to discover an alien colony and befriend them. <--- Do you even own a telescope?  An alien colony would kill and eat you, no hesitation.

3.Be really vague: This one is for people who want to feel good about themselves and like they've accomplished something without changing anything whatsoever.  

 Example: This year I want to cherish people more. <--- this is good because there is no way to actually measure how cherishy you are.  You feel good, you don't change a thing.
