OUR PATIENTS GET GREAT RESULTS!
A New Year’s resolution is a promise or commitment made by an individual to themselves, and it can be anything from a pledge to stop smoking to a promise to lose weight. Achieving your goals takes time, patience, and determination. It also requires you to set realistic goals that you know that you can work towards. Setting a resolution for the New Year is a great way to set yourself up for success. Resolutions give you direction and help you get things done. But how do you set a resolution? What if the resolution is too hard to achieve? What if you don’t know what your resolution should be? It’s essential to start with small achievable goals that will lead to bigger ones. When you’re crafting your New Year’s Resolution this season, keep these 10 tips in mind. 1. Start with a list of what you want from life and the most important things to you. 2. Choose one aspect of your life that you would like to improve from this list. This could be anything from your physical fitness to learning a new skill. 3. Write down your goal every day for a month to keep yourself accountable. 4. Find someone who will hold you accountable if necessary. You might find that working towards a goal with a buddy is also more fun! 5. Break down large goals into smaller ones so that they are more manageable and less intimidating. 6. Your resolution should not be too difficult to achieve. 7. Resolutions should be specific, making it easier to track your progress. 8. Your goals should be realistic and attainable but also challenging enough to push you out of your comfort zone. 9. A resolution should have deadlines, so there is a sense of urgency and accountability. 10. Pick a goal that will bring you joy. If your resolution brings you a sense of accomplishment or happiness, you’re more likely to stick with it. Good luck completing your resolutions this year! Our team at Reddy Care Physical, Occupational, & Aquatic Therapy is confident in your ability to hit your goals.
