Dig a little deeper. Avoid being punitive or hinging your self-worth on the accomplishment of your resolution. If you want to be good to yourself and accomplish your goals, be realistic about why your house is cluttered, for example. Are you stressed from work, moving, caregiving a parent or child or spouse? Do you have health issues or are you just plain exhausted? Adding the strain of a resolution often will only make it worse. If you have to address underlying factors first, do so. Find the root of the problem, then take slow and steady steps in the right direction, and you’ll start breathing easier in no time.
