Successful Resolutions

Studies show we struggled with resolutions. Most people fail before February. Have you made progress on your resolutions? If not, forgive yourself. Change is hard for everyone.  

How about a path towards getting results? These steps will make success likely.

Focus on why do you want to change? The more you understand your motivation(s), the more creative and persistent you will be to succeed. The hard part is understanding yourself.

Start small. What is the tiniest first step towards your goal? Read an article. Take a walk. Type a paragraph. Your little successes build confidence to try the next step.

Allow yourself time. Instant diets don’t work. Permanent changes work well, but they need time to blossom. You may not get much in 3 months, but the results in 3 years will amaze you.

Track actions that leads to your results. I track my weight and number of steps with a pedometer daily. Weight is the result of my eating and steps indicate current activity. 9 years of tracking weight and activity on a spreadsheet let me know to make adjustments. 

We all change. Choose to make changes you need.
