HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR 2016

As we return back on 4th January 2016 we’d like to welcome all our continuing and new Distance Learning students to the program.  We hope you've had a wonderful break and you’re ready to start the new year with energy and enthusiasm.

A lot of people find that New Year Resolutions are the perfect opportunity to make lifestyle changes.  Some of the most popular resolutions include:

- Getting into shape
- Becoming more active
- Quitting smoking or drinking
- Becoming more organised
- Learning a new skill
- Becoming a better person
- Reducing stress
- Saving more money

While these are all terrific goals some people think there is no point in making promises we can’t keep.  They believe New Year Resolutions often don’t last and before we know it we’re back to our old habits.

Research has shown that although positive thinking can be helpful, people achieve their goals when they:

• set realistic expectations of themselves
• break down their goals into small steps 
• are patient and don’t expect quick fixes
• have a plan, stay focussed and keep trying hard
• don’t get discouraged by setbacks

Have you ever had success with making New Year Resolutions that lasted beyond January?

Have you made any resolutions for 2016?

If your goal this year is to improve your English or achieve a CSWE certificate, how can you achieve this goal?

We wish you every success in 2016 and our teachers look forward to working with you to achieve your English language goals.
