How will you stick with your resolution this year?
If you're needing tips for sticking to your goals this year we've got several suggestions to get you started! Mary is always here to help advise and guild your healthy goals!
Set a specific goal! Don't leave an open-ended goal hanging. If you want to lose weight, set an exact goal. If you want to spend more time with family and friends set an exact goal, for example, I want to have dinners as a family or I want to turn phones off at 6 pm and have a game night. Having an exact goal in mind will lead to more success.
Next, how is this possible? Example: Okay, I want to exercise more. Well on Saturday's instead of sleeping in an extra couple of hours I will wake up at my normal time and head for a walk, or to the gym. Find out where this new goal fits into your life.
Now ask yourself: Is this goal realistic? Set yourself a goal you can achieve. Don't set yourself up for failure to begin with. If you want to lose weight set a healthy and reasonable amount. Don't expect yourself to lose 30 pounds in one week and then give up when it doesn't happen.
Get excited!! If your goal is depressing to you, it will be harder to achieve. Set goals for yourself that excite you and you can be pumped up and thrilled to work towards!
