Breaking your Resolutions
With over half the year gone, here are four ways to achieve your resolutions and improve your health once and for all:
1. Set attainable goals - Unreasonable goals set people up for failure.
If you have been 50 lbs overweight since college, it's unreasonable to
think you're going to drop that weight overnight. Instead, set
reasonable, short-term goals and objectives.
2. Have a support system - Surround yourself with people who will help
you achieve your goals.
3. Be positive - Healthy lifestyle changes such as exercising or quitting
smoking can have a big impact on your overall health. Rather than
focusing on what you are giving up, focus on the gain.
4. Persevere - Many times, resolutions are derailed by one slip up. This
doesn't have to be the case. If your resolution is to quit smoking and
you smoke a cigarette, start fresh the next day. Use your slip up as a
learning tool. Why did it happen and what can you do to prevent it
from happening again?
