The major downfall of most New Year Resolutions is trying to do them all at once and perfectly. Listing 10 things and expecting yourself to be able to keep it up means that very quickly you can't maintain, you begin to drop things and eventually stop trying because you feel like your failing.
Instead take it one step at a time.
Resolution to get healthier: maybe you go to the gym once this week and start building it up, maybe you make your lunches to keep you away from temptation when your trying to buy one quickly on a break. Maybe all you do this week is go a walk, but next week set a new goal, then another and then another. Little steps all add up.
Resolution to save money: look at your budget, see where you spending your money this is the first step you need to do. Money advice posts where they tell you to cut your daily £4 coffee are no help when you don't have a daily £4 coffee. Look at small places to cut so you can begin to save. Then repeat.
Whatever it is break it down in to steps, and then that's all you have to do take it one step at a time, your allowed to stumble you may even take a few steps back. But stay on the path.
xoxo
