New year, new you
Setting goals is a deeply meaningful exercise. Research shows that it motivates us, gives us a sense of purpose, and helps us feel accomplished. See tips below for establishing achievable goals in 2024 for your mental, financial and physical well-being.
Set specific and measurable goals
Make sure to set reasonable, specific and attainable goals. Instead of setting a goal of "exercise more" make your goal "exercise 30 minutes daily". This gives you a measurable goal to reach each day. Give your new goal time to become a habit, on average 30 days. Be patient with yourself. If you have minor setbacks or don't hit your goal one week, pick it back up the next week. Keep track of your success and reward yourself along the way.
Embrace the things you've already started
For instance, if you set the goal of taking a 30 minute walk 3 days a week over the past few months, use next month to commit to 4 days a week. Thinking of goals as a continuation of something you’re already working on can make them feel safe, comfortable, and easy to achieve. and would like to continue or build upon with time.
Tell someone
Tell friends, family members, and trusted colleagues about your plans so that they can support you. Make course corrections if necessary. If you find yourself heading in the wrong direction, don’t hesitate to course correct. Goals are not carved in stone. It’s okay to adjust your goals as you go.
Improve eating patterns in 2024
Instead of starting a new diet, experts advise improving the nutritional quality of what goes into your body. A gradual shift to healthier eating is more likely to stick and can reap long-lasting rewards. Take a "big picture" approach to healthy eating, and focus on making as many healthy choices as possible. The goal is to make gradual changes that become part of a healthier eating pattern you can maintain. Take your plate to the Mediterranean! Click here to book your trip NOW!
