This coming week brings about Master Lock's Random Acts of Kindness Week 2. It begins tomorrow, February 13th and goes until February 19th. A little kindness to others can go a long way, it can not only make you feel better, but can also make the person you're spreading kindness to feel better. Not only is Master Lock spreading a little kindness they are also encouraging people to keep their New Year's Resolutions, so if you are struggling to keep your New Year's resolutions this is the week for you to "lock them up" and stick to them! Do you know that Research shows that by February, 36 percent of people have abandoned their resolutions, and by April, that total increases to 54 percent. Do you fit into these statistics? If so, this is your chance to make that permanent change in your life and get back on track with your resolutions.

While you are there make sure to check out Master Lock's tips on how you too can Lock Up your resolutions by staying motivated, keeping your goals in site, and your mind set to obtaining them. Make your resolutions a permanent part in your life!

Master Lock has provided me with a few tips to share with my readers as a way to stay motivated in keeping your resolutions!

•             Write It Down…and Share It. Simply thinking through your resolutions and storing them mentally isn’t going to ensure you stay committed. Having a list of goals in your organizer, smart phone, or social media profile that you can easily access and share will reinforce your promise to yourself and spur encouragement from your followers and friends.

•             Get the right gear. Whether your goals revolve around getting back in the gym or being more organized at home, having the right products to help you succeed is a must. For organization, the 7148D document storage box can help keep important documents safely filed away.  To securely organize your digital life, register for a free account at www.masterlockvault.com to safely store your user names, passwords and other confidential data for easy access anytime, anywhere.  Getting good shoes, proper work-out wear, and a new gym lock such as the 1534D Password lock will help reinvigorate your enthusiasm to exercise.

•             Do it for a Month. In order for a new behavior to become a habit, you must stick to it for at least 30 days. Setting this small goal will make achieving your overall resolution more realistic. Plus, you can be encouraged when you’ve reached the one-month mark and assess your progress.

•             Keep a Journal. Commit to writing one to two sentences about your progress toward your goals each day. Keeping a written record of how you’re doing will keep your resolution top of mind and motivate you to continue to make changes. 

•             One Step at a Time. Don’t set too many goals and then try tackling them all at once. Make one goal your priority and focus on changing your habits to achieve it. Once you've mastered it, set your sights on two additional goals, giving yourself realistic timelines to achieve them and go from there.
