Making a Simple 2018 Resolution Can have Real Benefits
New Year's resolutions don't have to be grand initiatives aimed to alter your very existence. Often, people are unable to stick to their resolutions because they make them too lofty. New Year's resolutions can be simple, and sticking to them can make you feel good both inside and out. It's worth it to think it through and decide on a resolution that truly works for you.
While losing 20 pounds may be a difficult resolution to keep, eating a healthy breakfast everyday may be doable. Plus, it can lead to weight loss. The resolution becomes more about adopting a healthier dietary routine than focusing on a particular outcome.
Choosing attainable resolutions can enhance your health and perspective. It feels good to know that you're moving in a healthy direction, especially during January and February when the days are short and the celebrations have subsided.
Consider a simple approach to making resolutions that have real benefits for your body and your mind:
According to
US News
, nearly 80% of those who make New Year's resolutions abandon them by mid-February. That seems like a missed opportunity. It's exciting to think about how you can enhance yourself in the year ahead.
As you consider how to embrace the opportunity in 2018, think about small ways that you can improve your health or your outlook: floss regularly, call a family member once a week, do your knee exercises twice a week, read a book each month of 2018. Think about those little things that you find yourself regularly thinking "I should be better about that."
Don't worry about coming up with some sweeping, life-changing ambition. Making small adjustments to your diet or routine can have a big impact.
Little changes, big results:
Making healthy changes feels good, and it's nice to start the New Year off feeling like you're taking charge. That feeling of progress is what New Year's resolutions are all about. Accomplishing a small goal, like designating one place to put your library books so they don't end up lost by their due date, is a simple way to enhance your life and reduce your stress level.
Start noticing small things in your life that would benefit from an adjustment, and then commit yourself to it. Being able to stick to a small change will show you that you can do this.
Other examples of easy resolutions to keep:
Eat one fruit and one veggie with every meal.
Use your calendar to more strategically track medical appointments.
Try to be more patient when you have to wait in line.
