Have You Been Keeping Up With Your New Year's Resolution(s)?
As we reach the end of the first month of the new year, we have to stop and ask ourselves, are we fulfilling the new year's resolutions we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year?
New year's resolutions are easier said than done; it's not easy to stick to a goal or commitment, especially if it is something completely new or something you have not done/practiced in a while. Just in case you've been lacking motivation to stick to your goal(s), here are some reminders to keep in mind to help you stay on track in 2016 and ultimately reap the benefits at the end of the year.
1. Remember To Stay Realistic
Some goals we set for ourselves are a little far-fetched. It's natural as humans to set high goals for ourselves, we just have to remember to stay realistic. Everything takes time and dedication.
2. Talk About It
Although some of us are more private with our lives than others, don't keep your resolution(s) a secret - tell at least one person. Be it a family member or best friend, tell someone. This person or persons will help motivate and support you throughout your journey.
3. Don't Forget To Reward Yourself
Rewards are always an extra push of motivation. However he key is to reward yourself with something that doesn't contradict your resolution.
4. Keep Trying
If you're finding yourself already giving up on your resolution(s), don't despair. Experts say it takes about 21 days for a new activity to become a habit. Nothing happens overnight, so be patient! Don't obsess over it and take it one day at a time, the future you will thank you.
