1. Don't focus so much on whether they accomplish their new year's goals or resolutions, but instead embrace the mindset that if need be they can restart their goals at any time and not just in January. If that means starting a new goal in May or September they should feel empowered to do so.
2. Start a journal to write down their goals. Once they are written down they become visible and more real.
3. Set smaller goals at first that are more attainable and once those goals are reached they can set larger goals.
4. Be sure to celebrate those small goals and victories instead of thinking they can only celebrate the big goals
