How to Make your New Year’s Resolution Stick
As 2018 comes to a close and we enter a new chapter in 2019, many of us make a New Year’s Resolution to improve in some aspect of our lives. Whether that be to travel more, get in more exercise, or start up a new hobby, it’s important to have a plan going into the New Year so that you’re able to stick to the process of achieving the goal. That’s why we’ve put together 3 tips to help you accomplish your New Year’s resolution and have an amazing 2019!
Write Down Reasons for the Goal
Get out a pen and paper and make a list of all the reasons that you can come up with for why you are setting out to achieve your resolution. This list will act as a great motivational tool to push you during the process and remind you that there’s a positive reason for what you’re doing. If you ever feel like giving up on the goal throughout the year, take a look back at that list for the inspiration to keep working through it and achieve those end results.
Break it into Smaller Parts
It’s easy to become overwhelmed by a big dream and not know where to start, which often results in not starting at all. Try breaking up your goal into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will allow you to take the resolution one step at a time, making it easier to stick to and to track your progress.
It’s Never the Wrong Time for your Resolution
It’s easy to make excuses during the process of a resolution and put it off until the next week, the next month, or even the next year. But, the truth is that it’s never the wrong time to make the steps toward a positive change. Even if you just work on small aspects of your goal, this is a better step than doing nothing at all and will help you get closer to the end result.
