Why Make a New Year’s Resolution?
Like any other goal, a New Year’s resolution can be a good motivator. Starting fresh at the beginning of the year can give you an extra boost to succeed and help you:
Improve your
quality of life
Inspire you to be
more disciplined
Help you focus on specific
changes you want to make
Make the Right Resolutions
To help set yourself up for success this year, you should:
- Be selective with your resolutions. Instead of having too many goals, choose one or two things you want to focus on and give them your full attention.
- Make specific plans for your resolutions. Think about how you can achieve your goals and estimate the time it might take to reach them.
- Choose a new resolution. Avoid selecting a goal that you’ve tried and failed in the past. Starting fresh in the new year gives you a better chance of success.
- Seek support from others. Find a supportive community, whether it’s a friend, coach, or partner, who can help you stay motivated and accountable.
- Give your resolution time. It usually takes around 66 days for a new habit to form, so keep working towards your goal until it becomes a natural part of your routine.
