Reset Your resolutions
Happy 2016! According to an article in Forbes in 2013, only 8% of people achieve their New Year's resolutions. In fact, even after only one week into the new year, many lose site of their goals. Why is it? Many agree that most people are motivated enough to make changes; the objectives we set, however, are sometimes just too overwhelming and unrealistic to achieve in the desired time.
Many psychologists suggest that successful behavioral changes occur when we created smaller, achievable goals that are relevant to our core values. When you set a goal this year, make sure it is a SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) goal. Following the SMART model, you can specify what your goal is and think about a reasonable time to do this so you can stay motivated throughout the year.
Early this year, think about what you enjoy now. I got it? Good. With this in mind, where do you want to be at the end of 2016? Want to improve your eating habits? Stop smoking? Sleep more? Exercising more? Choose a behavior to add or change that will support this goal in the new year. More importantly, when your routine is thrown out, stay positive, and you pick up! There is always another day to keep trying
