Steps to Fulfill Your 2019 New Year’s Resolutions

Many times we struggle to reach our goals because our goals are set very high. Create goals that are manageable and not a complete “cold turkey” approach to your 2018 lifestyle. Start with baby steps and you will work your way up to achieve more general goals, but be sure to begin by focusing on the specifics. Remember statistically a habit takes 66 days to create, and 21 days to break.

Set specific ways to reach your broad goals. For example, if you were getting easily distracted in 2018 and your new year’s resolution is to focus more at work, you could start by reducing the amount of distractions in your work atmosphere. Turn off your phone, shut your office door, etc. Create small, every day changes to your day instead of trying to solve the massive “distraction” issue all at once. One small change or step at a time will make your goals more achievable.

I’m sure we all have a long list of things we wish we were better at. Although you may want your resolution list to be as long as your grocery list, taking on many goals at one time is unrealistic. Pick one or two big goals that you want to achieve in 2019. This will make it easier to actually reach them!

Diet starts tomorrow? We’ve all done it. As easy as it is to push off your resolutions and blame not achieving them on the universe, you need to hold yourself accountable. Time to adopt the ‘diet starts TODAY, no exceptions’ attitude and stick with it all year long.

As stated earlier, it takes about 2 months to form a habit. Stick with your resolution until it forms into part of your daily routine. Soon enough it will be as simple as brushing your teeth.

Everything is easier with a little bit of support. Grab a friend, family member, or even coworker and try to achieve the new year goal together. Having someone motivate you and having someone to motivate will make achieving the goal not only more enjoyable but also easier to achieve. Haven’t you ever heard “misery loves company”? At least you can suffer through a diet, workout, or social media free day together.

It’s 2019 people! Time to start using technology to your advantage. Set reminders on your phone, get a daily dose of motivation from Alexa, use an app that reminds you to do your goal, etc… There is an app for literally everything. Name your resolution, there’s an app to help you achieve it easier, download it!

[Last, but definitely not least, remember that you can do this! Support yourself, be easy on yourself, and know that you can do whatever it is you have set your mind to.
