>> PICKING A NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTION, PICKING A RESOLUTION
CAN BE EASY, STICKING WITH IT
NOT SO MUCH.
WHAT IS THE TRICK TO KEEPING THE
PROMISE YOU MAKE TO YOUR SELF.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING.
>> WONDERFUL TO BE HERE, SUCH AN
OPTIMISTIC TIME WITH NEW
BEGINNINGS AND NEW YEAR'S
RESOLUTIONS.
HEATHER: LOTS OF PEOPLE DO THIS
EVERY YEAR.
OFF THE TOP, SOME OF THE BIG
ONES PEOPLE TEND TO MAKE,
EVERYONE SAYS THEY WANT TO GET
HEALTHY, GET ORGANIZED, LIVE
LIFE TO THE FULLEST, DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS BUT LEARN NEW
HOBBIES, SPEND LESS, SAVE MORE,
BUT IT IS DIFFICULT, ANY OF
THOSE.
>> 50% OF AMERICANS MAKE NEW
YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS BUT HOW MANY
GO THROUGH WITH IT?
HEATHER: 10%.
>> 8%.
HEATHER: CALL IT SMART.
>> THAT IS THE ACRONYM.
BE SPECIFIC WITH YOUR GOALS.
HEATHER: LIVE LIFE TO THE
FULLEST.
>> HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
BELIEVES A LOT OF QUESTIONS SO
BE SPECIFIC.
INSTEAD OF SAYING LIVE LIFE TO
THE FULLEST SAY I'M GOING TO
TAKE A VACATION TWO OR THREE
TIMES A YEAR.
AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS
MEASUREMENT, MAKE SURE WHATEVER
YOUR GOAL IS MEASURE IT SOMEHOW.
HEATHER: NOT JUST LOSE WEIGHT.
>> DON'T JUST LOSE WEIGHT, GET
ON TRACK AND SAY IF I'M GOING TO
LOSE WEIGHT I WILL TAKE MY
WEIGHT EVERY TWO WEEKS, WE WILL
MONITOR IT AND MEASURE IT,
DOWNLOAD A FINANCIAL APPS, TRACK
MONEY.
AND IT STANDS FOR ATTAINMENT.
NORMAL, IT IS OKAY TO HAVE
MISSTEPS.
>> NOT GOING TO EAT ANY MORE
PIZZA IN THE ENTIRE NEW YEAR.
IT IS RELEVANT.
>> I WANT PEOPLE TO THINK OF THE
BIGGER PICTURE.
INSTEAD OF SAYING I'M GOING TO
>> YOU WILL KEEP TRACK OF YOUR
PROGRESS.
THEY WILL PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR
YOU.
>> DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FRIENDS
YOU WILL HAVE LEFT.
THAT IS A GOOD IDEA FOR SURE.
BE SMART WITH YOUR RESOLUTIONS
AND DON'T GIVE UP.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.
