Tips To Help You Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions

By this point in the year, it’s not uncommon for our New Year’s resolutions to start slipping away. We start to slowly go back to our old habits and eventually forget we even set our goals in the first place. Did you know that about 80% of people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions? Don’t let this discourage you from working on your resolutions. Sticking to your goals is always possible. Here are some helpful tips to keep your New Year’s resolutions throughout the year.

• Have realistic, attainable goals – It’s crucial to know what you can do, and how you can execute it. The best way to approach this is to focus on one to three goals. Make realistic resolutions that can be tracked throughout the year.
• Track your progress – Make it a habit to keep track of your successes, regardless of whether they’re big or small. It’s a wonderful feeling looking back and seeing how much you have progressed throughout the months. It also serves as motivation to keep pushing yourself to reach the goals you’ve been focusing on.
• Treat yourself - To keep the motivation momentum going, don’t be afraid to reward yourself for reaching your goals!
• Don’t stress about any slip ups – Nobody’s perfect. We’ll all have the occasional setbacks, but that shouldn’t bother us, nor should we use this as an excuse to give up! Use your faults as motivation to do better next time. Take some time to reflect on your progress and see how far you’ve come and then create a plan to make sure you’ll avoid another mishap from happening in the near future.
• Be vocal about your resolutions – It’s important to tell your friends and family about the personal goals that you want to achieve so that they can be there to motivate you along the way. There’s no better feeling than crushing your own goals with a strong support system in your corner.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race. You are in full control of your own achievements and keeping that in mind is crucial when you’re trying to stick to your goals.
