Christian Counseling - New Year's Resolutions Part 1

As we start out the new year, may of us have chosen to try to change something about ourselves. These resolutions, however, hardly ever work out. In fact, I am sure that some of you have resolved to no longer make any resolutions. For those of you who would like to make some change in your life, here is the beginning of a way to make it happen. In order to set a good goal, the goal must be SMART.

Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
