First I would like to say, I hope
you are all enjoying the start to your New Year! One overused term in 2015 was ‘GOALS’!
Many of you reading this have made New Year’s resolutions and at this moment
may be struggling to keep it or you’re slowly giving up. I know the feeling! I
thought it would be handy to give you some tips on how to stick to your
resolutions. I personally like to give myself goals not just for the New Year
but in general, the tips revealed have been used by me and have been successful.
1. Write it down!
Whether it’s in a notebook or in
the ‘notes’ section on your phone, writing it down can help keep a note in your
brain and you can always look back at what you have written to remind yourself
of your decision. Make sure your specific in what you write and perhaps break
it down with ways you will achieve this goal.
2. Set small tasks which lead up to
the ultimate goal!
Sometimes the pressure you have
put on your self can be too much and so taking small steps is easier for you.
We don’t change overnight! Putting too much pressure on yourself can make
you more likely to quit depending on how much you can handle. An example of making things easier is, if
you have decided to eat less chocolate perhaps you have six a week, make your first
goal for the month to have perhaps four a week and continue decreasing the amount
you eat a week.
3. Announce your goal!
This can be announced to friends,
social media, family members. This can be a good reinforcement for you to prove
that you’re not all talk but action too. Don’t be disheartened if all falls
through they are likely to forget anyway lol. However, on the flip side they may remind you over and over again and this can help you achieve what you set to do.
Don’t forget we are all different
and so what may work for someone may not work for you so do not be discouraged!
Prayer is also a good way of finding help, spiritual guidance can be the way
forward if that’s what you believe in. If you have any questions don’t forget I
don’t bite contact me on any of my social media platforms.
