Take advantage of these moments of clarity at the start of the New
Year and take actions that would commit us to making good decisions in the
future.
For many people the New Year means a fresh start, and another New Year’s resolution.We are determined to make 2014 the year we stick to our health and fitness goals.
And while making the resolution to lose weight is easy, keeping it, can be a challenge.
However, when you are convinced that losing weight is more important than what you are giving up, then you are ready for action and you will likely succeed.
There's this wonderful sense of renewal with the New Year, and it gives me hope that I'll turn things around. But I never pull through. I think the methods I use to motivate myself aren't working.
ReplyDeleteHere are some tips for sticking with New Year’s resolutions:
ReplyDelete+ Make a plan that is realistic and outline specific steps you will take to reach your goals
+ Write down your goals and review them periodically
+ Focus on changing one unhealthy habit at a time
+ Seek a professional or friend who can help motivate you by providing accountability
Setting and achieving goals isn’t a matter of will power, character, or intelligence. It’s a matter of understanding how your brain is wired to integrate new behaviors and learning a particular set of skills necessary for both setting and following through on your goals.
