We're 16 days into the New Year. What have you promised yourself to change this year? Or maybe not change? Keeping that promise can be difficult in the first few weeks, so here are some tips to help you reach those goals.
1. Change one small habit, and repeat that change daily until it becomes a permanent habit (It usually takes 21 days, or 3 weeks to form a new habit. You're almost 3 weeks into 2020, so don't give up just yet!) 2. Talk about it often (Talking about your goals to friends and family can help hold you accountable by letting other people know your goal. No one likes to be all talk and no action, so keep chatting about it!) 3. Post it everywhere you'll see it (Sometimes seeing is believing aka why people love vision boards. I like to put on a stickie note, my goal and post it everywhere I know I'll see it. So post it on your bathroom mirror, your refrigerator, your work desk. Places you will see it most to remind you why you are doing what you are doing.) 4. Do it with someone (Having a buddy is always helpful. If you goal is to lose weight, eat healthier, get out of debt, really anything- sign up with a friend. This will help to keep you both accountable, and on track. Plus it's always more fun with a friend by your side.) 5. Set a deadline (Whatever your goal is, make sure you have a deadline for it. If it's to lose weight, how much and by when? If it's to eat healthier overall, is the due date by your next annual doctor visit? If it's to save money for a vacation, when do you want to take it? If it's to get out of debt, how much do you want to put aside to relieve that debt? A goal is great, but a goal with an end date is more actionable.)
