As the calendar turns to a new year, we have the unique opportunity to set resolutions that can pave the way for success and personal growth. However, these resolutions are far too often forgotten; Time Magazine reports that by February, 80% of people are thought to have broken their New Year’s resolutions. In this post, we’ll explore practical strategies and tips to help you stay on track with your resolutions and make the most of your journey.
1. Create a Plan
Create a well-defined action plan. Describe the actions you must take to accomplish your objectives, and think about any roadblocks and how to get beyond them. If you are struggling with creating a plan for your interests, Minetum Consulting can help! Coaching helps build more confidence to make empowered decisions. Your coach will help remove distractions and provide more clarity to ensure that actions are aligned with the purpose, vision, and values.
2. Establish a Routine
Make your resolutions a part of your weekly or daily schedule. Establishing new habits into your routine increases their likelihood of sticking, and consistency is essential. Psychology Today reports that having and maintaining a routine improves mental health, reduces overthinking, and offers a sense of control.
3. Use a Journal
Maintain a journal to monitor your development. Jot down your objectives, successes, failures, and introspection. This might support your motivation and accountability. Writing out your thoughts is a great way to keep track of them and visualize your emotions/goals.
4. Stay Flexible
Be willing to modify your objectives if needed. Change is not something to be feared, but rather seen as an excellent opportunity to try something new. Because life is dynamic, things can change. Feel free to modify your goals as necessary without giving up.
5. Reward Yourself
Enjoy the victories you have along the path. To encourage good performance, reward yourself when you reach milestones. The key is to choose a reward that aligns with your preferences and brings you genuine happiness. This positive reinforcement can boost your morale and motivation as you work towards more significant goals.
6. Seek Support
Tell a friend or relative who can encourage and support you about your resolutions. The journey can be more pleasurable if you travel with someone. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can provide additional encouragement and advice.
