 It's that time of the year again when most of us will make a New Year's resolution, but the cold hard fact is that only one in 10 of us will permanently achieve our goal.   

It helps if you have a plan.  So here are some tips that could help you on January 1, 2016 and beyond:

1.  Make just one resolution - focus on changing just one aspect of your life.

2.  Focus on what you really want to achieve.

3.  Don't revisit a previous resolution you didn't achieve.

4.  Make a resolution that is really important to you.

5.  Break down your objective into smaller steps that are concrete, measurable and timely.

6.  Tell your family and friends about your goal.

7.  Regularly remind yourself of the benefits associated with achieving your goal.

8.  Reward yourself when you achieve a new step toward your goal.

9.  Keep a journal of your progress.

10.  Do not let a temporary setback become a reason to give up your resolution completely.
