I found this blog post by a colleague in the psychology field to be thought-provoking while succintly describing many things we here on MFP know to be true about making meaningful, sustainable changes in our lives. I am posting this here in the hope that this article may help others in committing to your health and fitness goals and encouraging you in pursuing your other life goals.

New Year's Resolutions: Resolving to Make This Year Mean More

This blog entry by James F. Schroeder, PhD, HSPP - St. Mary’s Center for Children, addresses the following questions: Why do most New Year's resolutions fail? What are keys to being successful in sustaining resolutions for the short and long-term? How does this relate to dealing with various psychological conditions? The article, Resolving to Make This Year Mean More, examines these questions on a deeper level. It details the way in which New Year's resolutions can become more than just fading goals, and instead be transformed into sustained changes that truly allow us to improve our lives.
