January, the month of resolutions, planning, and the universal sigh about festive feasts. But here’s the reality —only 22% of resolution-makers see them through past January (of the 37% who even made them in the first place).
So, how are your personal commitments holding up post-holiday bliss?
Sticking to new habits is tricky once reality hits. The alarm buzzes, and suddenly the snooze button is more appealing than the treadmill. But fear not, there’s a strategy that goes beyond the January hype.
- Clarity is Key:
Define your goals and why they matter. Picture success vividly. Know what you’re working toward and where that finish line gleams. - Personalise the Change:
Link your resolutions back to your goals. Make it personal, make it matter. Connect every change to your overarching objectives. - Keep It Simple:
Limit yourself to one or two changes. Too many goals = overwhelm. Prioritize and commit wholeheartedly. - Measure Your Success:
If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Define how you’ll know you’ve conquered that goal. Progress needs accountability. - Break It Down:
For big projects, break them into bite-sized, achievable steps. Trust me, there’s immense satisfaction in ticking off a checklist. - Blend with Existing Habits:
Starting a new habit? Integrate it with something you already do or enjoy. Less resistance, more traction. - Accountability is Key:
Get yourself an accountability partner. Work together or keep each other on track. - Take Action, now!:
Take 5 minutes now to progress one step. Make that call, schedule that meeting – just act!
- Clarity is Key:
