5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

We're going to make our New Year's resolutions.

After a few days, if you haven't already given up, you will quickly realize how difficult it is to hold them.

So how do you stay motivated and go the distance ?

The situation is well known:

When the new year arrives, you are always full of motivation to make big changes in your life...

...and become a better person.

Some say "Monday, I quit smoking". Others announce "I am starting a diet and I will have lost 3 kg before the end of January".

Finally we all heard "from next week, I will run every morning before going to work".

We fall more rarely but it does happen, on resolutions like "before the end of the year, I speak Chinese".

Sometimes we even decide to do everything at the same time:"I'm going to exercise every morning, I'm quitting smoking, I'm losing 3 kg and I'm speaking Chinese before the end of the year!"

Studies show that only 12% of us manage to keep our resolutions. How come 88% fail?

Rule #1

5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

Only one resolution should be chosen. The one for which we are most determined. Solving the problems one by one is always easier.

Rule #2

5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

To weigh the pros and cons. Are there any aspects of my resolution that I'm having trouble with and where I might fail? If you start a diet, think that you will be able to eat less often with your friends for example...

Rule #3

5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

Believe in yourself and set a "realistic" goal.

It's not a dream, it's a resolution. It is necessary to set a quantifiable and realistic objective and to know that you have all the qualities to achieve it:motivation, time, resources and support from those close to you!

Deciding to lose weight is an "achievable goal " if we are sure we can put everything in place to get there. Otherwise we risk finding all the possible excuses and stopping.

Rule #4

5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

Break down your objectives into several steps.

For those who have decided to jog every day, start with 1 jog during the week and 1 on the weekend. If you get there after 2 weeks then increase the pace and lengthen your race times.

Rule #5

5 Rules for Sticking to Good Resolutions.

Don't make the same resolution every year.

Choosing a new resolution allows you to start on the right foot rather than having in mind the failures of past years.

So try to choose a resolution that is close to your heart and even that makes you happy, such as going for massages or treatments more often!

Happy New Year everyone!
