New Year, Accomplished Resolutions

If you are anything like most people, you have already begun and stopped your New Years resolutions. You tried starting out the new year with a number of goals or one massive goal and by the time February and March roll around they have become too difficult to maintain, not because you didn’t mean well, but because changing too much too quickly can be overwhelming and ultimately leads to failure. So, let’s try breaking that habit now, restart and start small. Create a small goal and expand on that each month. Start now and by the end of 2020 you will have accomplished 10 goals!

Example

  1. March

    1. Eat an additional 1 cup of vegetables each day.

  2. April

    1. Drink another 8 oz of water. 

  3. May

    1. Walk outside for 10 minutes a day.

  4. June

    1. Eat an additional 1 cup of vegetables a day.

  5. July

    1. Get in an additional 3,000 steps in a day. 

  6. August

    1. Swim 2 times per week.

  7. September

    1. Go trail hiking 1 time per week.

  8. November

    1. Drink another 8oz of water a day.

  9. December

    1. Limit sugar consumption during gatherings.

      • 1 piece of dessert.

These are just some examples, change these small goals into something YOU want to accomplish.
