I don't know you well enough to make a personal suggestion, but I can tell you a strategy that works for me: the one-word mantra. I'm terrible at resolutions lists or even the slightest bit of complications to resolutions . . . I just can't keep them in mind for longer than a week (pitiful, I know).
But one year I chose a one-word plan: HAPPY. I repeated that word to myself when I needed it, and change really did happen in my life. I became happier because I remembered to make it so.
This year my one-word resolution is SLOW. I would like to add THINK to that but I'm afraid of making it too complicated! SLOW hopefully I can handle, because I do really need to slow down. Maybe the thinking will come naturally afterward. :)

Can you narrow it all down to one word?
