As the clocks chime midnight, most of us will leap into 2011 armed with New Year's resolutions. We might tell ourselves our school work is going to improve; we'll be kinder to our friends, stop eating junk food and do more chores.
But a few months down the line, we may well realise we haven't kept any of these promises. We'll wonder where we went wrong. Sound familiar?
Don't worry - you're not alone. Psychologists say millions of us fail to keep our resolutions because we want fast results and can't keep up the effort to change. We want too much, too soon.
Resolutions are a great way to turn over a new leaf, but you need to keep your 2011 wish list real. Here are tips to get you started - and keep you going!
Life's a journey
Stop planning and start acting. Your attitude is more important than the goal. So, if you want to get fit, stop thinking about it and just do it. Put on those trainers and hit the streets, instead of lounging on the couch, dreaming of your great new body.
