Are you Keeping your New Years Resolutions?
With the New Year only days away, this is often a time that most people review the past year, as well as look forward to coming year. It’s a time of reflection; what was effective, what was great and what was not so great.
As you look forward to the coming year, you may be reflecting on what changes you would like to make in your work, family, relationship or health and well-being.
One of the most common problems that people struggle with is not being able to keep their New Year’s resolutions on track. Many people start with Gusto, but then grind to a halt after weeks or months and slip back into their old patterns. Does this sound like you? If so, try these tips:
1. Keep a journal of your progress, including success and failures- be honest.
2. Keep yourself accountable by checking in with a friend or partner regarding your progress.
3. Keep your long term vision front of mind- this will help you stay motivated.
