Dear Melissa,

As February is winding down I am finding it harder and harder to stick to my New Year’s resolution. Life keeps getting in the way and I think it’s time to throw in the towel. Any advice how to stay motivated?

Resolved

Dear Resolved,

Remember the reasons you chose that resolution in the first place. What motivated you a month ago? Mask yourself if the goal you set was realistic and if not, then modify it. It is much easier if you make achievable goals. Reaching them will help to motivate you to reach those bigger goals and resolutions you have on the horizon.

Good luck!

Melissa
