3…2…1…Happy New Year! Every New Year seems to start with a new resolution, but does a New Year mean a new you? Certainly not, but for many it means a time to make a change in one aspect of your life. Remember a New Year’s resolution should be about you or a cause that you care about.

Stay on track with these Payless Pointers:

• Set realistic goals. It goes without saying that most New Year’s resolutions are easier said than done— especially if you set the bar too high.

• Don’t overload yourself. It’s difficult enough for the average person to follow through on one ambitious New Year’s resolution, so why bombard yourself with three or four? Trying to do everything simultaneously is a recipe for failure. Pick the most pressing issue at hand, and if you achieve one resolution, pat yourself on the back and move onto the second. You have a whole year to reach that resolution, there’s no need to rush the process.

• Get friends and family involved. The more people you announce your resolution to, the more people there’ll be to pick you up if you fall behind. There’s no shame in seeking support if you can’t accomplish your resolution on your own.

• Lastly, don’t sweat the small stuff - set realistic goals, and work towards achieving them. Let 2009 be the year to take action.

Happy New Year 2009 from the Payless Family to yours!
