After the start of the new year, people make many different resolutions. A common one is working out. People want to get healthy in the new year, but they make many mistakes when they try to do it and the resolution doesn't last more than 2 weeks. Here are some ways to help you stick with your new year's resolution:

Write down your goals

The first way to make sure you stick with your new year's resolution is to write it down. Write it down somewhere where you can see it all the time. You can either write it on paper or type it on a phone or laptop. Once you write it or type it, put it where you can see it. By looking at it all of the time, you can you keep yourself motivated and you'll want to see the goals you hope to accomplish.

Make a plan

Set up what days you are going to do what. Decide what days you're going to workout and what you're going to do. If you set up some options you could do cardio one day, a class another day, and lifting weights different day. This way you are more likely to stick with it. Setting a specific schedule and time will help you stick with it.

Find something you enjoy doing

Sticking with working out is all about finding the thing that you like. You are going to want to workout if you enjoy what you're doing. If you don't like running then don't do it. If you like going to workout classes then do that instead. You are more likely to workout if you don't see it as working out. You want to see it as something fun and something you enjoy doing.

Find someone to keep you accountable

If you have someone to keep you accountable you are more likely to stick with it. Text someone and ask them to come with you, find a coach, or even just post on Instagram. If you tell someone about it, you are more likely to stick with it.

When you want to give up don't

Even if you want to give up don't do it. They say that it take sixty days to make a habit. Give it the sixty days and you'll make a full on life change. It is something that will become a part of your lifestyle and not a chore or something you feel obligated to do.

You can stick with your new year's resolution if you set yourself up for it. You need to write down your goals, make a plan, find something you enjoy doing, find someone to keep you accountable, and don't give up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
