This Year I Will...How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True by M. J. Ryan
Summary: Are you really ready to change?
Take this quiz and find out.
Every New Year’s Day, my list of resolutions is:
Ambitious. I aim for everything from losing weight to saving more money for my
retirement.
Realistic. I just try to bump my good behavior up a notch--be a better friend,
give more money to charity---without giving myself any strict deadlines or
goals.
Precise. I decide exactly how many men I will ask for a date, or how many new
jobs I will apply for.
Whenever I decide to change something, it’s usually because:
My doctor has put the fear of God into me.
I read a magazine article about why making this change is important.
I start daydreaming about how great life will be after I make the change.
True or False: When you want to make a big change in your life, timing is
crucial.
Failure is:
Impossible.
Inevitable.
Not in my vocabulary.
(The answers are on the inside back flap.)

Angie's Comments: M.
J. Ryan elucidates the steps that we need to take to actually change. The
strategies that she offers are common sense, but it always helps me to see
things better when someone else spells them out. Each chapter has a specific
point, and the chapters are short and to-the-point.

book might help you get there!
