Most of us set them, but how many of us actually accomplish them? We've all been there. We set a goal to lose weight, do more yoga or quit your job and do something that inspires you. Our new year begins with clear intentions, but slowly fades away as our "to do" lists grow longer and our "want to do" lists become more unattainable. Why is it so hard to stick to those New Year's resolutions?
Here are some easy ways to set clear intentions and to make them a reality:
1. Write your intentions down and keep them somewhere you can see them, like on your office wall, taped to your bedroom mirror or the dashboard of your car.
2. Try and acknowledge things and/or people that are holding you back from accomplishing your goals. Are you in a stressful relationship that causes you to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night? Are you stressed at your job and feel too tired to practice yoga after work? If you don't get to the root of the behavior, it will be much harder to accomplish your goal.
3. Visualize what your life will be like once you accomplish your goals. If you resolve to go to the gym more, how will this benefit you? Get connected to the result of your action, and you will be more likely to stick with your plan.
4. Discuss your resolutions with loved ones, friends and your Health Coach! Hold each other accountable for achieving your goals. If you want to go to yoga more, have a friend call you two or three times a week to check on you or invite them to join you. Or, call your health coach! If you could benefit from having a motivating and compassionate influence in your daily life, this yogi/health coach is in your corner and am just waiting to help you accomplish your goals!
5. Don't forgot to reward yourself with each accomplishment, no matter how small. If your intention is to lose weight and you lose 1 pound a week, pamper yourself with a massage...get a facial...you deserve it.
