Resolutions are as common as champagne on New Year’s Eve and, unfortunately, they lose their fizz just as quickly. In fact, nearly 80% of all new-year’s resolutions are broken by the end of January each year.
This time of year, I tend to hear from many folks that they want to lose weight, get fit and create more organization. To set yourself up for lasting success, it’s important to approach your resolutions from a balanced perspective. Here are some tips that can set you on the path to success:
Once you have your resolution or theme for the year, you can make a list of actions that will help support your intention. For example, for the theme of “feeling good and looking good”, perhaps it’s following-through with all those doctor appointments you’ve been putting off or committing to start each day with breakfast.
To help anchor your resolution or theme so that it has a longer shelf life and you’re reminded of it on a daily and weekly basis, try writing it as the screensaver on your computer; as the wallpaper on your phone; or on the front page of your hard copy calendar. The idea is to have it front and center so that each day you’re reminded of your intention for the year. Then, each day, you choose one small, achievable, realistic action step that will help support your theme or resolution.
