How to stick to your New Year’s Resolution

Most people get caught up in the expectation that they are meant to state a goal on New Year’s Eve but they fail to adequately plan, so they don’t end up sticking with it.

I reckon it’s not worth bothering unless you put in some forward planning or you are simply setting yourself up to fail.

It would be like saying you’re going on a driving holiday but you don’t put petrol in the car and forget to ask your boss for time off; it’s not going to happen!

The key to setting a successful goal is to take a bit of extra time now, at the goal setting stage. Your goal needs to be achievable - not too easy, not impossible – just nicely challenging.

Write a SMART goal and include some emotions and why you want to achieve it.
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic (and personally Relevant)
Timeframe

So this is what your goal might look like:
It is 31 May 2013 and I feel so proud that I have reached my goal weight of 65kg. Now I can
keep up with the kids and I fit into that amazing red dress. I feel a million bucks!
Once you’ve achieved it, celebrate, then set the next one, you don’t need to wait until the next New Year to set more goals!

More tips on goal setting to come…..stay tuned!
