How to keep a resolution for the new year
Similar to last year, we have made resolutions for the new year as it is the beginning of the year. Due to the fact that you failed to keep your resolutions from prior years, you may have stopped making resolutions altogether. You weren't unable to keep those resolutions because you were unmotivated or incapable; rather, it was because you never gave it much attention.
Here are some strategies for sustaining ones New Year's resolution.

Make resolutions that you can actually achieve. You cannot set goals based only on your desires.
Write down your resolutions on a sticky note or in your diary so that you can remember them every day. Even better, set a calendar reminder.
Every day, make progress toward that goal. For example, if one of your goals for the new year is to read two books every month, start by reading at least one page each day.
To check off everyone you managed to do, use an app or calendar.
Finally, keep going; whether you skip a day or a month, it makes no difference; just pick up where you left off.

You can add your own suggestions.

Forget it the first time you fall back into your old habits. "If you make a mistake, you should just act as though it never happened the first time. Avoid thinking negatively; instead, pretend you didn't err the next day and return to the behavior pattern you were trying to promote.

If you continually making mistakes, try examining your behavior rather than placing the blame on yourself to determine where the process is falling short.
"If a decision doesn't work out, we shouldn't hold ourselves responsible. It implies that we now have more information to draw from in order to make better decisions moving forward.my suggestion though.

The best way to sustain a new year resolution is to write it where you can see it each day especially in the morning,  so you can have that consciousness as you walk into the rest of each day until that resolution becomes a belief system or a culture

Remind yourself of your resolution each day by saying it out loud

[Phyna4]

Most time we do all the above you mentioned but still achieve nothing.
First, you have to be convicted in your heart that you are willing to achieve that new year resolution.

[Maestro75]

Many people have debated that the best way to sustain a new year resolution is to make it a lifestyle thing. Make everything you have vowed to do a part of your daily activity. Let it be a part of your life, that way you can not forget what you have promised to do or not do. If you said you will not smoke, start doing things that will make you not to smoke. Keep yourself away from any environment that will trigger smoking fantasy again. Resolutions should not only be made by mouth, they should be put into practice.

I quit smoking as a new year's resolution. Way for me to keep it is a mind trick.

I need to want more not to smoke then to smoke.

That sounds weird so let me explain:
If i view my promise as a task that's going to take lots of work i am going to view it as in negative light.
I will see it as a hard road, and that makes me think smoking is an easy road.

When in fact it takes more effort to smoke then not to.
I need to buy it every week, i am controlled by it and my free time is controlled by it. It makes my energy levels low and i can't train as efficiently.
It makes me need to use more money.

So i won't view quitting as a hard task. I will focus on the future and now where i am free of it.
Now when i think smokng it i don't remember it something i can't do but something i don't have to do anymore.

I can rememer the nausea, bad breath, possibility of lung diseases, that i was constantly tired and felt bad.
Now why would i want that.

The longer you manage without breaking the resolution the easier it will be. 

I had a resolution to stop drinking hard liquor because I used to get drunk on every party and last time I did it was on NY Eve when I drunk so much that I was vomiting for 2 hours, not joking. So I told myself that I won't get drunk again and I'll just have a beer next time I go out and it's been almost a month and I haven't touched whisky or vodka.
I wish all of you guys with resolutions manage to keep it.

Abiding by the decisions you made as a new year resolution might not be easy, especially when it relates to the issue of addiction. This is because you would always face triggers that tends to push you or motivate one to go back to the past negative habits. I have once made a new year resolution and broke it the next day because I was indiscipline. Keeping to your new year resolution takes a lot of willpower and discipline.

One of they ways I try to stick to my new year plan is to outline the advantages and disadvantages of my decision. Someone that decides to quit smoking might derive benefits like improved health, increased savings, reduced societal stigmatisation and improvement in personal hygiene. This benefits cannot be commensurate with the temporal and harmful pleasure that smoking offers. Weighing the benefits and demerit helps me to hold on to my decision regardless of the temptations to break the resolution.

I think a new year resolution is a flawed mindset to begin with. Like if you really wanted to change an aspect of your life, why would you wait for an arbitrary date to start? you'd just start asap.

It's like when people keep setting dates in the future of when they will start a diet, that's how you know they don't actually want to diet.

Some people already knew what they wanted this year and started late last year, and made it more serious by turning them into resolutions for this year. For those who started Last year, the resolutions will be easier for them to keep. If you just started this year to act on your resolutions, discipline is key and you just have to always remind yourself why you taking that step.

For your new yr resolution cming to pass you must for of all have a purpose for your self first of all and then lean from people you think are ahead of you,you should be a person that takes instructions and above all be close to God him alone can help you keep your decisions of the new resolution i think to my opinion that's the best way..

Sustainability of the new year resolution lies in our capacity to follow after them and working towards the realization i to our daily life, most times we are only desperate about some needs only when we are urgently i to them but once we got relieved of it small we easily forgot the path to take in other to avoid further reoccurrence in the future, why should it be on new year's alone that we should make new resolutions, this can be done at any point in life or at any stage when we needed to, it's helps set a new target and crave for a change about a particular condition or how the situation of things were, which all begins with a right thinking from the mindset at first.

I agree with you, many people talk about new year resolution without even knowing the meaning, that is to say many people get it all wrong. New year resolution comes in different ways depending on the area of your life you want to improve on, like what you said about smokers, some people new year resolution may be how to save, while for some people new year resolution is about the beautiful places they want to visit and go spend their money. for instance, my new year resolution may be to buy a car and to do that I will have to cut off my expenses and start saving for it, while your own may be to travel to one of those countries just for visit. But what I can say about new resolution is by setting a new goal for the year and things to achieve and things to cut off.

Yes I agree with you, and you also need discipline in order to keep up with that resolution
Because without discipline you might be tempted to break or go against the resolution and by so doing the set out goals won't be accomplished.
You have to keep up with every process involved in that resolution physically and mentally just to make sure the process are followed in order to achieve the set out goals so discipline is Also very important in making new year resolutions.

[Alisha-k]

Every resolution is achievable. It only persistent that brings them closer to getting it accomplished. One of the ways i have resolved to handle my resolution for the year is admit failure if it comes and work on what failed and know why it failed so i can start building from there.

My 2023 resolution was to meditate and exercise everyday.

It is not hard to keep resolutions. It is only difficult if you forget them.

Firstly, I will say prayers are needed, you need God's intervention.
Secondly, put those your new year resolution in a written form, maybe in your phone or in your dairy, let it serve as a reminder to you that this are the things you promised yourself either to do, or to stop doing this year,
Everyone has his/her new year resolution, some persons might want To marry
Build a house,
Buy a car,
Quit some bad habits etc.

But which ever way it is, in other to achieve it, avoid people that don't have same vision with you, be punctual with hard work,
if it's in terms of quitting bad habits like smoking, drinking etc, avoid friends who smoke and the areas where the smoking its been done.

Even when you post it on your chicken wall, toilet wall or any wall  in the house it one takes discipline to follow it up. If you don't discipline yourself and follow it up it will be a total waste of time,

Written it down and discipline yourself to the routine of it will help you achieve the desired goals you want to achieve before the year runs out.
If it's actually a habit you want to stop then you have to avoid anything that will bring you close to that, I remember a friend who wanted to stop smoking badly he had to go as far as avoiding any social gathering with friends as he sees them to be the one influencing him negatively.

[GideonGono]

For me I would just remind myself why I set up those resolution.
To be honest I didn't have any new year resolution but when Feb enter's there was a certain thing that I want to change on my self.
And I lost the motivation to do it but today I started working on my goal to change my life, and whenever I feel like being lazy again I would just remind my self why I want to change and why I needed it.

[Promocodeudo]

Making resolution is good but achieving it, is better, it is very challenging most times to make decision on what not to do and what to do and stand by it, it might require you ti deny yourself thing you see as pleasure in other to accomplish this task but for surev it is achievable it all depends on individual, If it is a behaviour that you feel that is not right and you want to stop it just work on your mundset and take charge of yourself if you notice that is your friend that's influencing you just unfriend him or her gradually to achieve your goal, be it whatever you want to achieve just start from little you will get to something in a twinkle of eye. absolute decision is the key to resolution.
