New Year 2020: Here is how you can avoid breaking your resolutions this time
New year resolutions can be tough to keep up with. Here is how you can avoid breaking your New Year resolutions this time and achieve your goals easily.
At times, your New Year’s resolution list can be as scary as your holiday shopping list. New Year is the time to reflect on your past year’s behaviour and make considerable changes for the coming year. However, most of us fail and keeping up with our resolutions every time. However, here is how you can avoid breaking your resolutions this time.
1. Start small
Making a list of unrealistic and unachievable goals only makes you demotivated. Start with resolutions that you know you will easily keep up with. Sudden, huge changes are about to put your mental and physical health at risk and make you reach nowhere.
2. Change one thing at a time
Yes, we know that there is a whole list of things that you would like to change about yourself. But you need to understand that stubborn behaviours take time to change. Unhealthy patterns are developed over a period of time and it takes time to eliminate them as well.
3. Do not stress yourself
You definitely want to change yourself in the coming year, but this does not mean that you force yourself to attainable heights. Always remember that mistakes are bound to happen and are completely normal too. What is important is that you need to pick yourself up after attempting these mistakes and keep going forward.
4. Ask for help
If you find yourself breaking your resolutions regularly then seeking help. You can ask your loved ones to strengthen your resilience to achieve your goals. Your loved ones can help you to be on the right track and also adjust your goals according to the progress that you are making.
5. Talk about your resolutions
It is important that you share your experiences and progress levels with your friends and family. Consider talking to someone with similar ambitions or resolutions. This way you can both help each other stay motivated and focused at achieving your goals and hence avoid breaking them.
