Every year, we raise our glasses and proclaim the things we will change. And we start off with the best of intentions, don’t we? Things like I’ll get in shape! I’ll get back into my skinny jeans or any jeans for that matter. I’ll finally write my novel! We feel so proud of making these statements. Then the clock strikes midnight, we hug and kiss, and we carry home a sack of promises for ourselves that we really want to keep. But time marches on and while we start off on the right foot, life seems to get in the way making for an easy out. Just know you CAN stick to the changes you want to see for yourself. Here are 4 tips on how to finally make your New Year’s resolutions come true
1.ACCOUNTABILITY: Tell someone you trust about your resolutions. It’s one thing to declare them at your NewYears Eve party; It’s quite another to tell your best friend or your parents your plans for resolutions for the upcoming year. They’ll support you too, which can be the difference in making it happen. Basically, get an accountability partner. also, Write them down and post them on your bathroom mirror. A constant reminder will help you stay focused.
2. QUANTITY: Don’t make too many at once. Resolving to get in better health by exercising and eating right is fantastic. But setting a realistic timeline is crucial. For example, start incorporating more and more healthy foods per week. Then begin challenging your exercise routine a little bit more as each week passes. In this way, you’ll look forward to your goals and feel better about accomplishing them.
3.PROCESS: Don’t just stay focused on your end result. Getting there is half the fun. The journey to achieving your goal should be made as fun as possible given the circumstances. Set mini-goals to mark your path to the end goal. Reward yourself when you get there, and remember it’s a learning process.
4. MINDSET: Clear your mind Even without significant resolutions, you must find time to decompress your mind. Meditate, walk, write, read, or otherwise do something that pulls you away from a blue screen and forces you to connect with your innermost self. It’s all mind over matter, and what matters is you.
