Many Utahns make New Year’s resolutions, but when you’re busy with college, or just busy with life, it seems that those goals fall by the wayside too easily. According to Forbes.com, in a study done by psychologist Richard Wiseman he found that 52% of people who made New Year’s resolutions were confident that they would achieve their goals, yet only 12% actually succeeded. So what’s the secret to keeping your New Year’s resolution?
One mistake Utahns make is setting big general goals. A college student might make the goal to be healthier, or to not procrastinate on their college homework as much. Instead you should make your resolution specific with a tangible achievable outcome. Instead of saying “be healthier” be specific for instance: I will exercise more. Then determine the steps you will take to do that and what you will do once you hit your goal. I will exercise more by running every other day until I am strong enough to run in a 5k and then a 10k by the end of the year. You’re setting a tangible goal, one that you can actually see the results of instead of a general “be healthier” which won’t get you very far off the couch.
Write down your goal and outline the small manageable steps you need to take to achieve your goal. By planning and accomplishing one small thing at a time you will be able to stay focused and positive. If you’re a Utah college student you can start by completing your assigned reading each day.
Pay attention to self-sabotaging thoughts. When you’re in college it’s easy to think “I just don’t have the time” or “I just can’t do it” or even “I’m not good enough”. It’s normal to feel fear and doubt, but to make progress you must move past those negative feelings. If your thoughts don’t support your goal, let them go!
