We all start the New Year with a determined attitude to do
something different, lose weight, get fit, stop smoking etc. Yet, after a month of cold, wet, snowy
weather, dark nights and not much lighter days, that resolve may be fading and ‘New
Year, New Start’ doesn’t quite inspire you in the same way.
Well, here are a few tips to get you back on track:
Revisit your original
resolution – Is it realistic?
For instance, resolving to
never eat chocolate again even though it’s your favourite food could be difficult
to stick to. Instead opt for something more achievable, such as only having one
small bar a week.
Stay
Positive and Be Your Own Best Supporter
–
If you have a lapse it doesn't mean you've failed, focus on what you have
achieved so far, notice the successes, however small. Encourage yourself and do your best each day.
Get
Plenty of Sleep
– if you are sleep deprived, your resolve will not be as strong and you won’t
have as much energy to stay motivated
Stick
With It!
- It takes approximately 21 days for a new activity to become a habit and about
6 months for it to become part of your personality.
Remember a resolution can be made at any time of year so if you
feel you have lost momentum, just start again!
