Why you should write new year’s resolutions?
Before starting with the new year resolution ideas, I want you to know why it is important to write resolutions for the new year if you are intent on pursuing your goals.
- helps you take control of your life through small manageable steps
- improve your self-esteem by motivating yourself to take action and take control of your life
- makes you motivated to change
- if you manage to reach a goal, you feel accomplished
How to succeed in your new year’s resolutions?
- Simplify the goal: if you want to lose weight, you can’t proceed quickly, but gradually.
In this step, you can help yourself by deciding the kg you would like to lose in a month (e.g. 1 kg) and continue like this for the next 4 months. - Plan the different steps to take: this means writing down exactly what you’re going to do to achieve your goal.
In the case of losing weight, this can be eating more vegetables, playing sports 3 times a week, and so on. - Goals must be SMART: Your goals must be simple, measurable, achievable, realistic, and, time-bound.
So set yourself a goal that is simple and achievable, that you can do, and practice it for a certain amount of time. - Set small, manageable goals that lead to a bigger goal: In this step instead, the monthly goals are what you need. By setting monthly goals and proceeding step by step, you can measure your progress over time until you reach your goal. (List of 30 monthly goal ideas for self improvement)
