We all have New Year’s Resolutions, but not all of us stick to them. The main reason we fail at keeping our resolutions is because we don’t have a plan. So I’m going to give you 10 easy steps to help you keep your resolutions.
1. Start Small
Instead of giving something up completely, try cutting back.
2. Remember nobody’s perfect so set realistic and achievable goals
Trying to look like a super model is not realistic for the majority of us, but to include daily physical activity in our lives is.
3. Understand that slip-ups are not the end of the world
Everyone makes mistakes. Resolutions can be set at anytime.
4. Create a plan
People forget, paper remembers. Write your resolutions down and put it somewhere you will always see it, that way you will be constantly reminded of the goal at hand.
5. Patience
Everything takes time. Remember great things come to those who wait.
6. Reward Yourself
Whether you buy yourself a new outfit or treat yourself to a full body massage, reward yourself after each week or month of keeping your resolution.
7. Do not spread yourself too thin
Don’t pile yourself up with resolutions limit your number of promises. Trying to make multiple changes in your life will only result in the failure of all your resolutions.
8. Don’t be afraid to seek help
Whether it’s professional or just friends and family. Let people know about the changes you are trying to make in your life that way you will be constantly reminded of what you are trying to accomplish.
9. Embrace change
Understand that things happen unexpectedly and just embrace it even if that means your resolution is altered.
10. Keep a journal
Write down your achievements and your slip-ups so you would know exactly where you stand with your resolutions.
Good Luck!
