Making Your New Year’s Resolutions Stick

January 1, 2017 · Filed under healthy eating

Many people use the new year as a time to reflect upon last year and to make resolutions. And if they keep those resolutions, then it’s a great opportunity to wipe the slate clean and to begin again. But if they don’t keep them, then it just becomes a cycle of trying to commit to making a change and then not making it. The majority of people, unfortunately, find themselves back to where they started by February 1 or soon thereafter. So, how can you make your New Year’s resolutions stick? Here are some suggestions to keep you on the right track.

  1. Don’t make radical resolutions. You got the way that you are overtime – so you can’t expect to change everything overnight. Keep your resolutions realistic.
  2. Don’t consider that you’re making resolutions. Rather, try to think of one thing that you think you can truly change in your life and stick with. Think of it as a new way of being, not as a resolution you hope to keep for a bit.
  3. Make a plan. Simply saying that you want to lose ten pounds this year isn’t going to get you there. You need a plan of action. What do you plan to take out of your diet? How much exercise will you put in? What are some small goals you can create for yourself?
  4. Give yourself smaller timelines. Rather than saying that you play to do x or y in 2017, give yourself a smaller timeline. Set monthly goals and see if you can stick to those.
