The first question you might be asking yourself is, why the quotation marks around resolution? To answer that, who actually makes a resolution and actually keeps it? How many of you (and I include myself in that you) make a resolution and that drop it a month, or so, into the new year? We've all done it, don't even try to deny it.
I need to stop doing this, or do less of that. I need to start doing that, and do more of this. Fill in the blanks with the this' and that's. I know what mine are for this year, but what they are exactly isn't really that important. The question is what's going to make this year any different that every other year for the past freaking deckade.
Oh, New Year's Resolutions why are you so hard to contend with? That I think is the one question that no one can ever answer. Seeing as how every single person out there has broken a resolution at some point in their lives.
Hang tough, you never know this year really may be different.

You can do it, Ali! I think the most important thing is not giving up when you slip up. It's easy to just throw in the towel after one mistake. Also, this article was really interesting: http://99u.com/articles/17123/5-scientific-ways-to-build-habits-that-stick
