Each start of the year is a great moment where you set new targets. Unfortunately, you are likely to deviate from your resolutions as the year ages. Here are three things you should do to honour your New Year resolutions.
1. Set achievable goals
One of the main mistakes you should avoid is setting goals you will not achieve. Unsustainable goals will make you feel like a failure and give up. Therefore, go for resolutions that will give you small positive improvements.
"Many people want change so badly that they create massive, intimidating expectations that are ultimately undoable or overwhelming," clinical psychologist Carla Marie Manly told BestLife.
2. Do not compare yourself to others
You are different from everyone around you. This fact should help you avoid comparing yourself to others and focus on what you want to achieve this year. Those you might be aping have different resources, targets and strategies.
3. Do something you love
One of the best ways to succeed in doing something you love. Investing in what you live makes it easier for you to progress.
You are also advised to be prepared to face failure because some strategies fail. It is also wise to avoid plans that have disappointed you in previous resolutions.
