As we move quickly through January, your New Year’s resolutions might seem like a distant memory, but they don’t have to be. Staying committed to your goals might seem like hard work but if you really want to make healthy changes in 2023, use these three tips to help you stay on track.
Start Small
You might have had the best intentions to work out three to four times a week but something always came up stopping you from getting there. The best way to create this habit is to start with once a week for about three weeks and then if that works out well add another session and see how you go. Starting small takes away feeling overwhelmed and stops the ‘all or nothing’ mindset.
Write a Mantra
Having a mantra or affirmation that you say or read every day will keep you committed to the goal you set for yourself. It could start with ‘I am…’ or ‘I want…’—having it in front of you every morning will remind you to keep going and stay committed.
Put it in Your Calendar
We all get busy and forgetful but making sure you have a date and time on the calendar for your workouts will keep you committed. If it’s written down, you will find it harder to ignore.
