Start the New Year Off with a Smile with Help From Life Coach Laura Berman Fortgang

NEW YORK, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The New Year is a time for self improvement and resolutions. Internationally recognized life coach, Laura Berman Fortgang is an expert at helping people make realistic resolutions and stick with them throughout the year, and she is giving you a real reason to smile in the New Year. With Laura's tips on how to actually keep those ever- evasive resolutions, this year is sure to get off on the right foot.

"I know first hand how hard it can be to keep a New Year's resolution. Though it's great to aim high and be optimistic, it's important to be realistic, and choose resolutions that can gradually build up to something positive that can follow you throughout life," says Laura. There are many small things you can do to keep you motivated and make you feel confident towards achieving your long-term goals. Here, Laura shares seven helpful tips to keep you smiling throughout the New Year:

* Rid your closet of things you don't wear to start fresh in the New
Year. Those jeans you keep in your closet to wear when you loose 10
lbs. Haven't worn it in a year? Let it go!

* Change your look and breathe new life into your appearance. Try a new
hairstyle or brighten your smile with a product like Crest Whitestrips
that is only a seven day commitment. You'll smile more, and it will
give you added confidence and keep you positive towards reaching bigger
goals.

* Be nice to your body. Treat yourself to that full body massage you've
been holding back. Eat more fruits and veggies; drink more water to
improve your health, or try and new sport or workout.

* Prioritize your life. Determine and declare your top five priorities
like have a more positive attitude or going after that new job, and be
willing to let go of the rest -- at least for now.

* Take consistent action. Commit to do one thing a day -- no matter how
small -- that will put you closer to an upbeat mindset. Play your
favorite song every morning to help you start your day on the right
foot. Do something for someone else. Volunteer at a local charity
feeding the homeless or walking dogs at the humane society. You'll be
surprised how good helping others will make you feel, and motivate you
to do good in your own life.

* Make a change for the right reasons. No matter what your resolution,
make sure you're doing it for yourself. Don't let external pressures
force you to change. Figure out what inspires you from the inside and
then devote yourself to it.
