Make sure you continue to
evaluate your successes as
you go. It can be all too
easy to bob along as you
are, slipping back into your
old ways and letting
progress slip, so keep a
record of your resolutions,
ticking milestones off as
you reach them.
Dr Sally Ann says...
"You're taking this
challenge seriously and
have made great progress.
Now you need to guard
against complacency. It's
easy to rest on your laurels
and feel like you've
cracked it, but that's when
you are in most danger of
letting your advances slip."

It seems like you haven't
been invested in your
resolutions. This might be
because you're happy with
things the way they are,
or you didn't make the
right resolutions. Perhaps
think about reconsidering
your goals and assess
what your aims are for the
rest of this year, then set
your 2020 resolutions and
plan of action accordingly.
Dr Sally Ann Law,
Personal and Executive
Coach says...
"There's no point beating
yourself up, but you have
to ask yourself how
seriously you took this.
Think hard about what
matters and make the
resolution you choose for
the rest of 2019 one that
means something to you."

MOSTLY B:
RE-EVALUATE
You've got a loose
framework in place, but
are struggling to fully
commit. It may be that
the goals you've set are
either too low or too high,
and you're avoiding
putting in the necessary
work. Adjust your
resolutions, making sure
they are achievable, but
also challenge you over
the next six months.
Dr Sally Ann says...
"Well done for not falling
off the wagon entirely,
given you've found it
hard to stick to your guns.
You could maybe use a
little help from a friend to
check the milestones
you've set yourself are
doable. Trying to stretch
yourself a little more to
make quicker progress
will keep you motivated."

MOSTLY C:
REFINE
You're sticking to your
resolutions as best you
can, but there's something
holding you back from
crossing the finish line. Get
specific: for example, if
your resolution is to read
more, update and refine it
to read one book a month.
By doing this you break
down your goals into
achievable chunks.
Dr Sally Ann says...
"It seems you need to
push yourself to see
results. Check your
resolutions are still
meaningful and if not, set
new, specific targets each
week for the rest of the
year. This should keep
you on track and help
you see the progress
you're looking for."

MOSTLY D:

MOSTLY E:
GROW
You've set your resolutions
and you're doing a great
job of sticking to them.
Make sure as you succeed
in fulfilling them, you set
yourself new ones that
challenge your abilities
and motivate you to reach
for new heights.
Dr Sally Ann says... "It's
great you feel fulfilled and
motivated about the goals
you set, and the way
you've managed to meet
them. Now you know you
can do it and how to make
it work, you are in a great
position to start again,
choosing new resolutions
that will really help you
feel good about the way
your life is going."
