As someone who's had her own share of failed resolutions (but also a few successful ones) I believe that the two keys to the latest are being specific, realistic, and honest to yourself. Ms. Seymour did a great job outlining the need for all three. I even found some tips on how to create your tasks list so it can be fun (never though of it as fun, I must admit). I mean, there is a reason why most New Year's resolutions fail, but you can increase the odds in your favor if you do it right. But really, you must know yourself and be honest with yourself; you should realize you can't drop 100 pounds in 2 months for example. If you're setting unrealistic goals, you're setting yourself up for a failure, and you only have yourself to blame for it. Just thought, I'd say that.I'm giving it 4 stars because the ideas in this book are not really something new or mind-blowing (although they don't have to be mind-blowing in order to work). They are quite simple and common sense, and I'm sure you can easily find them on the Net, but the fact that Paula has compiled all those tips in a short book and an easy-to-read format makes them very useful and in some ways eye-opening. I'm already looking forward to turn this "dreadful chore" into a spa day. We'll see:).
