Do you have trouble sticking with your New Year's resolutions? It may help to match your lifestyle changes with your thinking style.

According to a Australian Psychological Society (APS) survey of people's health behaviours, lots of people plan to change their diet and exercise habits, but very few people stick to their resolutions.
To survive the six-month crunch point, the APS says it helps to identify your predominant thinking style: comfort, achievement or approval.
While everyone may use all three styles of thinking at some stage, developing a better understanding of your dominant thinking style can help you identify which strategies will help you stay motivated.
Rate yourself on the 12 questions below to identify your thinking style and find the most suitable approach suggested by the APS to help you keep those New Year's resolutions and improve your health.
