It’s officially the new year and it’s time to make those New Year’s Resolutions if you haven’t already! This time of year, millions of people write down their goals and aspirations for the upcoming year in hopes to spark positive change in their life. Have you made your New Year’s Resolution list yet? It’s not too late to think about your goals for 2020 and today, Fort Wood Hotels not only has a list of popular resolutions for you to consider but also a few strategies for sticking with them.
Specific- Again, saying "I want to get healthy" isn't very specific. Define what being healthy means for you - eating more greens, working out 3x a week, etc.
Measurable - A goal, in general, should be measurable. If getting healthy means dropping bodyweight, consider setting a measurable goal like I want to lose 10 pounds or 10% of my body weight.
Attainable - It's important to not set unrealistic goals that will only lead to failure. Be reasonable and choose a goal that is in the realm of possibilities of accomplishing.
Relevant - Make sure when you set your goals they are relevant to your priorities and lifestyle.
Time Sensitive - Give yourself a timeline for achieving your goal. Having a time frame will give yourself something to work for to celebrate your victories. Consider breaking up your big goals into smaller goals with timeframes to make each goal more measurable. This can also help you feel less overwhelmed.
