With the New Year just around the corner, it's time once again for those New Year's resolutions...Here are a few tips to help you stick to your goals.
1. Focus on positive self-talk. Congratulate yourself every time you take a step towards your resolution goal. You'll be amazed at how powerful being positive is.
2. Avoid berating yourself if you should fall back or break a resolution. Just brush yourself off and start over again.
3. Stick to your resolution by considering it a promise to yourself, not a test of your willpower.
4. Avoid situations that put you in temptation's path, meaning if you're on a diet, don't go take the kids to the drive thru.
5. Keep a sticky note in a prominent place so that you see it every day, reminding yourself of your resolutions. (i.e., on your bathroom mirror, next to your bed, on the visor of your car, on the refrigerator, or set a reminder on your cell phone)
6. Be realistic. Make sure your plan is a realistic one that can fit into your lifestyle. Will you really have the energy to work out before going to work? Make changes as easy and convenient as possible.
7. Be sure to give yourself the time you need to achieve your goals for the New Year.
At NWPS we wish you the best of luck on your New Years resolutions and a happy and safe 2009!
