It's a staggering statistic that might make some of you second-guess the point of making New Year's resolutions. According to U.S. News, 80 percent of New Year's resolutions fail. That's right — 80 percent!

With a new year fast approaching, millions will make vows to eat healthier, hit the gym, or quit smoking, but with so many people failing to follow through on those vows, is success simply out of reach for most? We'd like to think not!

Since getting your head in the game is one of the biggest factors in making a healthy habit stick, we outline a series of strategies in this Forever 39 episode that will help you achieve your 2018 goals.

One of the best sources of tips we found came from a blog written by Amanda Richardson that was published last year by The Huffington Post. In her post, Richardson outlines seven strategies that people can employ to not only get healthy, but to make sure those changes become lifelong ones, and not ones that only last a matter of weeks.
