Tips on Keeping This Year's Resolutions
Email Page
The New Year is here and most people are already thinking about their resolutions. Since most of us give up on our resolutions by March, here are some tips to keep us on track with them (at least until June):
1. Create a plan. If you intend on resolving behavior you must have a clear plan that you can put into action. Your plan should include the steps that you need to accomplish your goals.
2. Don't wait until the end of January to create your plan. By then you may have already given up on your resolutions, changed them or just forgotten about them altogether. Do it immediately.
3. Write it down. Accountability is a great motivator. If you see it on paper, you are more likely to follow.
4. Don't restrict yourself to a specific time to accomplish your goals. Behavior change takes time. Think of your resolution as a daily, continual process, with January being the beginning.
5. Be flexible. Remember, life happens, and our plans don't always work out as expected. Make changes as needed to your plan and praise yourself for partial accomplishments. Think of this journey as building a home, with each brick being an important part of the final product.
Wishing you a Healthy Happy New Year and good luck with all your resolutions.
