It\u2019s that time of year again. The holidays are over and New Year\u2019s Day is here bringing with it parades, toasts, celebrations and New Year\u2019s Resolutions. If you\u2019re anything like us, you\u2019ve probably set a list of resolutions, achieved one or two, and forgot or dismissed the rest. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not the only one. In fact, about 92% of people who make New Year\u2019s resolutions fail to keep them, with only 8% actually achieving their goals.1 Here are a few tips to help you achieve your resolutions this year.<\/p>\n
One of the easiest things you can do to help you achieve your goals is to keep your resolutions simple. This doesn\u2019t mean that the ideas or goals have to be rudimentary, but keeping the actual goal relatively simple helps keep things in perspective. People tend to make huge lists or extreme makeover goals. While the idea is laudable, competing priorities and commitments can push your resolutions to the backburner. It\u2019s better to make small resolutions that are attainable and work on them over the course of the year as opposed to sweeping life-changing lists that may never gain traction. The important part of New Year\u2019s Resolutions is recognizing that lifestyle change is important and working toward that goal.1<\/p>\n
Another mistake people make when forming their New Year\u2019s Resolutions is to make the goal unmeasurable or intangible. For example, a blanket \u201cGet into Shape\u201d has no quantifiable aspects. Make attainable goals, such as \u201cLose 20 pounds by March 1st\u201d or \u201cStop using electronics at family meal time.\u201d These are goals that you can measure whether or not you are finding success, and help create a sense of completion.<\/p>\n
