We are now 7 weeks into the new year and it’s about the time when New Year’s Resolutions start to fade into the busyness of our daily lives. If you are losing traction on your resolution, I offer these few thoughts:
1. Was it realistic? Instead of scrapping the idea, maybe just a reframe or adjustment is needed.
2. Was it visible? Post it somewhere it’s visible to you every day so it serves as a reminder of what you want to accomplish.
3. Do you have an accountability system? Is someone helping to keep you accountable to your resolution? If not ask someone to partner with you and do the same for them.
4. Do you have a reward system? Figure a point where it’s appropriate to give yourself some intermediate rewards for being on the right track.
A couple fun ones have popped up for me recently. One is the 1000 Mile Run Club on Strava. I want to see how quick I can get there this year. The other is in my Apple Watch step counter. My goal is 2 million steps this year.
Don’t let your strong motivation and good thoughts from January go to waste. Now is the time to refresh your resolutions. Do you have any other tips for keeping your resolutions fresh? I’d love to hear them!
