So we did it through Thanksgiving and Christmas and we are looking to the new year. If you're like me, you have made a goal to eat as much as possible during the holidays for no other reason than you could! I also went a bit too far on the budget that I set for Christmas gifts, but my children are happy that one!
So now it's time to pay for all that gluttony by the resolution of the New Year. I heard that more than half of all Americans make New Year's resolutions and that over 0 percent of them fail to achieve their goal. There are many, many reasons why we fail in our objectives for the new year. In the past, I have often failed my resolutions in early February! This year, however, will be different. And yes, I say that every year, but this year I think I've narrowed my reasons for failure and will keep them in mind during my resolutions for 2015!
- Be realistic. Of course, I'd love to drop 25-30 pounds by the spring. Let's see, do I'll have to drop 10 pounds per month. That probably will not happen. However, I can resolve to lose 3-5 pounds per month and stick to it! I will not set unreasonable goals at the gym or with my diet and not lose focus.
- Be specific. Instead of simply resolving to save money, I'll come up with a plan. I will use a progressive savings plan that many of you have seen. 1 week, put $ 1 in a savings account. Week 2, put $ 2. Week 3, add $ 3 and so on until I saved almost $ 1,400 to spend for Christmas next year.
- Do not set too many goals. The more goals you achieve, the more likely you are to fail at one or two of them and completely lose focus on them all. I'm just the best two resolutions this year: lose weight and save money
- Share your goals with your close friends .. I will surround myself with good people to act as my support and encourage me to succeed rather than seduce me!
- Do not use guilt or shame to motivate you. Nobody's perfect. I will deviate from my time objectives to time. Instead of down on myself, I will try to focus on the positive aspects of my goal and move forward from there. I will not give up.
I know how to make New Year's resolutions sometimes sounds like a cliché, but set the right goals and take the right approach to achieve these objectives can result in a great 2015! Do you have other tips for keeping New Year's resolutions? feel free to share please and Happy New Year!
