How to make a new habit stick

1 Set a date to complete just one change and work towards it.

2 Focus on the change for at least one month. Think, talk and read about it a lot.

3 Make it real. Write down your resolution and read it to yourself daily. Go public – tell friends and family about it.

4 Be positive about it: this is something to make your life better. If you have negative thoughts, stop and switch back into positive thinking immediately.

5 Visualise success. Close your eyes and see the new you who’s made the change. What will be your reward for achieving your goal?
