The following blog post is from Brother Sean Reitze, State Junior Councilor for Pennsylvania DeMolay and PMC of Pilgrim Chapter.
Before we get things started: Happy New Year Pennsylvania DeMolay! I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2018.
At the start of each year, many of us find
ourselves wanting to take on a New Year’s Resolution. A large majority of
individuals end up breaking their resolution at some point during the year:
hopefully these tips can help us all be a part of the proud 8% of Americans who
have achieved their New Year’s Resolutions (according to Forbes).
Set goals. Make your resolution a tangible, specific, and attainable goal. If
you find out along the way that your goal isn’t attainable, don’t be afraid to
modify it slightly in order to make it possible.
Partner
up with a friend to positively motivate each other to achieve your resolutions. You’ll be able to check in with each other along your journey and
have a go-to person if you encounter any bumps along the road.
Let your
friends and family know about your resolution (optional). By letting others know about your resolution, you are increasing the
amount of people who can hold you accountable and, in turn, positively motivate
you to stick with your resolution.
I hope these tips lead you in the right direction towards achieving your New Year’s Resolution. Good luck, and have a great year Pennsylvania DeMolay!
