Bursting with new ideas for 2012?

As you know, most people drop their New Year Resolutions within days or sometimes weeks.  But you are NOT most people. These simple tips will massively increase your chances of success.

1. It’s impossible to focus on lots of things – so narrow your ideas down to one thing you really want to achieve.

2. Set your goal with clarity – exactly what, by when and how will you know you’ve got there? For example, I will run in the local 10k competition in April, crossing the finishing line in under 55 minutes.

3. Commit by telling other people about your goal and asking them to hold you to your plan.

4. Break your goal down into a plan – what are the steps you will take to make it happen?  For example, agree a training plan with friend to run twice a week, building up the distance and speed.

5. Take the first step now…. I’m already on my way out to buy those new running shoes!
