Today is New Year’s Eve, which means tomorrow we say goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021! Many of us will be marking this change by making resolutions, from getting in shape to learning a new skill or meeting a new challenge. Unfortunately, most of us will fall short of these goals and may abandon them completely. Which is why in today’s blog we’re going to look at a few tips to stay focused and achieve them, for real this time!
Make Realistic Goals and Pace Yourself
Often, the doom of our resolutions is the fact that we dream too big, or more accurately, we expect major changes in very short amount of time. If you want to get in shape, this means changes to your diet and exercise routines. However, this also means that results will take time. When people don’t see results right away, this could be disheartening. In addition, you may not pace yourself. If you want to eat healthier, but your force feed yourself nothing but salads for a week to two, you’re going to fall off the wagon. If you want to exercise, but overdo it and injure yourself, this will set you back as well. No matter your goal, make a point to set realistic expectations and pace yourself!
Talk About Your Goals!
Let people know what you’re trying to accomplish! Talk about what you hope to do, as this keeps it forefront in your mind and could make sticking to them easier. Your friends and family could also want to help and may offer helpful reminders too. Don’t keep your resolutions a secret, because then abandoning them only becomes that much easier.
Don’t Be Too Hard on Yourself
You may have slip ups on your diet, you may skip a few days at the gym, and you could stop practicing your musical instrument. If this happens, don’t beat yourself up and stop trying altogether. Just readjust your goals and expectations, and get back to it!
