September 7, 2021Building Lifestyle Habits that Last a Lifetime, There’s Never a Better Time To Start
For many of us, thinking about the start of a new year brings the opportunity to make lifestyle changes and make changes that can benefit our future. Whether it’s eating better, exercising more, quitting smoking, or reducing stress many of the goals we hope to achieve are really just waiting for us to begin. But while the New Year brings renewed motivation, this is often short-lived. Achieving long-term success requires planning, commitment, and action. But is it really all that hard?
So here are 6 tips to help you to achieve success in your New Year’s 2021 Goals:
- Set realistic and achievable goals– make your goals challenging but not impossible. Remember were building a lifestyle and all foundations take time to complete.
- Turn your goals into a plan of action– write a list of the steps you need to take to reach your goal and give them a deadline for action. Start with how much time you’re realistically going to put into this.
- Consider tools like fitness trackers,web-based apps that allow you to set and track multiple goals, create tasks and reminders, view your progress with charts and reports and even invite others to support and keep you motivated.
- Create your plan of action immediately– take advantage of the increased motivation that comes with the start of the New Year and get started on your plans now!
- Have a compelling reason to change– this will provide you with the motivation to get started and to keep going when things get tough! Do you want to lose weight, gain muscle, just improve your health?
- Get organized– work out what you need to do to change. This could be stocking your cupboards with healthy foods, finding a personal trainer, or talking to your doctor about quitting smoking, engaging a life coach?
- Ask yourself what’s important to me right now? This could be a fitness or lifestyle goal or a financial goal.
- Consider what you have time to do and set goals that you can complete.
- Goals are life events, once achieve one you can move on to another.
- Don’t follow other’s goals, create your own personal reform. Others aren’t you and you aren’t them, it’s hard living up to someone else’s goals sometimes.
