TIPS to be successful with your RESOLUTIONS in 2015
Posted on December 24, 2014 by Susan Scarlet-Macaw, One of Thousands of Health and Fitness Coaches on Noomii.
Let me help you change your life. The action might lead you to pursue a specific change and inspire you to make a fundamental change in your life.
Start Small with reachable goals. I will be assisting you to create your Wellness Vision to accomplish goals that are important to you. Here are some tips to get you started
1. Give yourself time to get used to a new routine. For example, if your goal is to exercise, make a schedule to exercise 3 times a week, instead of saying I’ll exercise more. Make your goal specific and fun. Try something completely different even if it’s trying almond milk instead of cow’s milk.
2. Change One Behavior at a Time
Since both healthy and unhealthy behaviors develop over a period of time, it will take a while to change. Work towards changing a little bit and taking away those habits that harm your well-being.
3. Tell your Friends
Share with others your aspirations. When you have someone to share your struggles and successes it makes it easier to carve a healthier journey. Your family and friends will be inspired by your changes! Another idea, join a support group to reach your goals in a community.
4. Perfection is Unattainable
Sometimes you might have a misstep but it will be Okay. Giving up will only make you feel bad, but continuing will empower you to believe that you can reach your goals. So what? if it takes longer than you were prepared to do so. Everyone has ups and downs!
5. Ask for Support
It is empowering to know that we can do things on our own. I have found that I am most successful when I accept help from those around me. Your resolution might cause some stress if your expectations are not met, however with someone by your side s/he can listen and strengthen your resilience. A professional can offer strategies to help you adjust your goals as well as guide you to change unhealthy behaviors.
6. Keep Track
When you write down or keep track of your progress, you will accomplish your specific goal. There are many apps that keep track of your exercise, your weight, your positive thoughts and even going to the doctor for semi annual check ups. For example, if you want to save money, before you even start to save it, you need to know how much you are spending. Keeping track of your expenditures allows you to know where you have been, saving money tells you where you are going, when keeping track of your money, it becomes easier to change your impulses when going to the mall.
Resolutions are not easy and maybe you don’t need to determine them every year. I have learned to pay attention to my unconscious and how it can keep nagging my consciousness until I give it a specific well determined and attainable goal. The most successful tip is keep track of the steps you are taking to getting to your goal as well as talk to a friend, family or professional. You can do it alone, but it is more rewarding when you accept help. Send me a note so we can have a FREE 30 minute call (801) 512-0599 or e-mail susan@myexerciseandwellness.com
