(HealthDayNews) -- We're less than a month into the new year, and already some of your resolutions may be on thin ice.
Stay on track with these tips from the Texas Medical Association:
- Seek support from friends who will cheer you on or who share similar goals.
- Make a list of the benefits of making a change and stick the list on the fridge or somewhere where you'll see it every day.
- Instead of thinking "I'll never make it," praise yourself for each day's progress.
- Get plenty of sleep. You're more likely to give in to impulses if you're tired.
- Have a contingency plan for when you're tempted. For instance, if you want to smoke, go for a walk instead, or call a friend.
- Reward yourself for your progress.
