While many of us vow to change our lifestyles each year, often those resolutions fall to the wayside a few months after making them. Nearly half of all Americans make at least one resolution each year, and the top three are losing weight, increased exercise and eliminating bad habits. Although many don't keep their resolutions, research indicates that those who actually make them are ten times more likely to attain their goals.
If you haven't kept your resolutions in previous years, now is the time to re-evaluate what you want and identify how to achieve it.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
As with most things in life, if you don't know where you're going, it's impossible to get there. Take the first step in any successful venture: plan!
Don't just think about what you want to change - write it down! Develop a personal plan and post it where you can see it at least once a day.
Include not only health and fitness objectives for the coming year, but other goals for your career, community and interpersonal relationships.
Set goals that are realistic and reasonable. If you hate running, your main focus shouldn't be to run a marathon. However, if you enjoy the camaraderie of others, you may enjoy a group fitness class.
Easing into changes will help make them stick. And don't forget, regardless of where you are today, you can be a healthier person tomorrow!
