Only one in four Americans achieve their resolutions, despite the fact that close to half start the year with them. (See my previous post on the top 4 reasons why we can’t keep our resolutions here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But moving towards real positive change is essential for people to create the well-being they desire and deserve in their lives.<\/p>\n

The concerns are still the same\u2014How can I stay on track with my goals? What can I do to make sure I\u2019m successful come next January?\u2014but the approach is changing. It\u2019s becoming more holistic, more about overall wellness for the entire body, for now and in the future.
\n
\nTop 10 Strategies to Stay on Track with Resolutions:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One Goal at a Time<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 If losing 30 pounds is the most important goal then choose that as the only focus until it\u2019s achieved. Other goals can be added on later, but for now let this be where 100% of Resolution energy is focused.<\/li>\n
  2. Be Clear on Success<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Is it just losing weight that is important or being healthier and having more energy overall? Success will be measured in a number of ways\u2014pounds lost, miles run, energy levels, overall happiness\u2014and all of them should be part of the success report card, not just the number on the scale.<\/li>\n
  3. Small Steps<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Smaller goals that are more easily attainable can serve as ideal stepping stones towards a bigger goal and are essential for long-term success. They can even be as small as singular daily goals. It\u2019s about changing behavior little by little to drive a new lifestyle. When people take on too much, they can be easily overwhelmed and give up.<\/li>\n
  4. Reward, Reward, Reward<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Your brain loves rewards! And people need to give their brains a rest during the change process too. As small but important goals are achieved, they should be celebrated. These celebrations can be anything\u2014a luxurious bubble bath, visiting a friend, a creative activity\u2014whatever is personally rewarding but doesn\u2019t take away from the goal.<\/li>\n
  5. Repeat to Create New Habits<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Small new habits grow into big habits over time. Change takes time. By putting in the effort to repeat small habits that support the overall goal at hand, people can set themselves up for long-term success.<\/li>\n
  6. Buddy Up<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Having a shared goal with a friend increases the probability of achieving it. An accountability partner helps people get out of bed on those cold mornings, encourages them through hard times, and is there to celebrate when success is reached.<\/li>\n
  7. Create a Joy List<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 What brings you joy? When working on changing habits it is so important to balance the challenge of change with the addition of joy in the journey. Add the things that make you smile into your weekly or daily routines. When we feel joy, we release dopamine into our bodies, which helps curb hunger and aids in weight loss.<\/li>\n
  8. Rally Your Resources<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Consider all personal resources available. Create a team of supporters with a friend, a spouse, a nutritionist, and a life coach, who are cheerleaders and not only rooting for your success but also vested in it. A happier, healthier person has a halo effect on everyone around them!<\/li>\n
  9. Keep a Gratitude Journal<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 When people are working hard on change, they can lose track of the little things that are going well. Each day, write down what has gone well and what you are grateful for. Positive psychology experts have shown that expressing gratitude can build stronger immune systems, lower blood pressure, minimize loneliness, and build joy, optimism, and happiness\u2014all essential qualities in achieving goals.<\/li>\n
  10. Picture Perfect<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Create a vision board that illustrates the new version of you one year from today. How are you happier? How are you healthier? What positive changes have occurred? Post to board somewhere that\u2019s visible to you every day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
