New Year’s resolutions are a tricky thing aren’t they? The New Year feels like a fresh start to many and an opportunity to set new and amazing goals. Although, sometimes after the thrill of the New Year settles in, we aren’t as eager about our goals…. It’s easy to fall short of achieving the amazing goals we had set for ourselves. This year can be different! Our FEAST team believes that any and every one can achieve New Year’s resolutions as long as they set their mind on it. Today we want to share some tips on how to stick to your New Year resolutions this year.
1.Start with small steps We sometimes can have big goals that we want to achieve immediately, but trying to get immediate results could lead to our failure. We encourage you to take small steps that will lead you to your goal. For example, if you want to start eating healthier this year, you may want to start out by replacing some of your favorite food options with more nutritious ones. Such as replacing a milk chocolate bar for a dark chocolate bar. Then your next goal may be to eat more vegetables. You could do this by slowly increasing the amount of meals you make with vegetables each day. 2.Visualize yourself achieving it Our goals can feel overwhelming--especially if they require us the make real lifestyle changes. Try imagining yourself achieving your goal anyway! Close your eyes, see yourself there, feel it, and embrace it. Feels good doesn’t it? So whenever you are feeling unmotivated, try this exercise and visualize how amazing you will feel if you continue working on your goal. 3.Weigh now against later Sometimes in the moment, some things can seem so enticing. But, we challenge you to think about how you will feel later, versus now, if you do something that doesn’t align with your goals. For example, let’s say you made a goal to meditate first thing each morning, but one morning you are tempted to sleep in instead. If you decide to sleep in that may feel nice in the moment, but imagine how you will feel later throughout the day. Your day may feel off because you didn’t meditate and set the tone for your day by meditating like you were doing on every other day. 4.Find a routine that works for you The previous tip brings us to our next tip. Find a routine that works for you! For example, if you want to start meditating in the morning, we don’t advise that you set a goal to meditate every morning at 5am if you typically wake up at 10am. Maybe at some point you can achieve waking up every day at 5am to meditate, but start at a time more realistic for you so you can stick to it. 5.Surround yourself with good company The company you keep around you can have a major impact on your goals. The people whom you hang out with can affect how you feel and how you behave. Try to keep people around you who encourage and uplift you. It could also be helpful to surround yourself around people with the same goals as you, so you can motivate each other through the process of achieving your goals. 6.Keep trying If when spring comes, and you have completely run out of fire to keep up with your New Year’s resolution, don’t despair. Start over again! You can start over as many times as you want or need. No one is perfect and reaching goals can be easier said then done, so keep trying. 7.Reward yourself Acknowledge your small accomplishments toward your steps in reaching your goals and reward yourself for it. For example, say you have a goal to cook your own meals 5 days out of the week this year. Say you’ve accomplished doing this successfully for a month. Now is the time to take some time out to catch up on your favorite show while you eat a delicious dinner you prepared to reward yourself and recognize how proud you are of yourself and accomplishments!
