New Year’s resolutions are sometimes hard to stick with and accomplish. This is because when people move into the New Year and develop their resolutions, they do not have the proper plan to accomplish their resolutions. In my last article, I told you about the most common resolutions, and now I will be explaining how to accomplish and follow through with those resolutions that you have for yourself!
Pick more than one resolution. Make sure at least one of them is a fitness/health goal. Make a few resolution goals that you can strive to attain by focusing a little energy on each one every week or every other week.
Write your goals and resolutions down. Make sure they are in present tense. This is more a trick and tip for the mind to really help you accomplish the resolutions. Also, read your resolutions everyday either to yourself or out loud.
Share your resolutions with three or four people. These people will ask you about your goals and hold you accountable in achieving them.
Post your resolutions onto a wall or mirror. Look at your resolutions when you wake up in the morning and when you go to sleep at night. You could also keep them on the lockscreen of your phone so everytime you go on your phone you see them! This tip helps you to not forget about you resolutions and to follow through with your goals.
Create milestones. Create milestone markers that you can use to re-evaluate your progress or needs of improvement. Creating milestones is a great way to check in with yourself and check in with how well you are achieving your goals and staying true to your resolutions. If you successfully achieve your milestones, reward yourself with a small token of hard work and discipline but don't go overboard - you still have to complete your goal.
The last tip is to have fun! Have fun during the process of reaching your New Year’s resolution!
These tips have helped many people achieve their resolutions, and it is my hope that they will help you as well!
