How to Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions

By: Page Cole

With the start of the new year, January is looked at as a month of new beginnings and opportunities. Most people like to make new years resolutions, but in reality, it can be really hard to stick to them and maintain these goals in your life and future. Here are some tips to help you maintain your goals and resolutions!

  1. Start small.

    You might have these huge goals in mind, which is great but can also be really intimidating if you are starting from square one. Instead of creating an unrealistic standard for yourself, start with smaller, more achievable goals that will leave you feeling satisfied and accomplished when they are completed!

  2. Write them down.

    As simple as this sounds, it can be really helpful to physically see your resolutions written down. After you write them down, review them a couple of times a week to track your progress and remind yourself of what you really want to achieve. Taping a piece of paper on the wall of your resolutions is also really motivating and helpful.

  3. Make goals for your goals.

    Once you have your resolutions down, think of smaller ways that can help you achieve them. This will help you plan out how you will get there and will keep you from going in blind. Having a plan is so important, and will help your resolutions become daily habits.

  4. Keep the pressure off!

    Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. It is totally normal to not follow through with your resolutions every single day, so make sure you are not too hard on yourself. This is so important because in being nicer to ourselves, we actually tend to achieve more. So keep the pressure off and know that making mistakes and having off days is totally expected. 

Making new years resolutions can be intimidating, but I hope these tips will help you stay motivated and plan out how you want to achieve them. Remember to stay positive and consistency will come. Happy New Year!
