Some of the most common New Year resolutions have to do with improving health and fitness. Many people have the same resolutions year after year - and people all over the world share these goals: "lose weight," "exercise more," "eat better" and such.
But why is it that a great deal of our health resolutions fizzle out after just a month or two? Some say that we're just not dedicated or willing or motivated enough. I disagree.
There are a few things that can ruin most common New Year resolutions, and stacking up these failures takes a toll on our morale and motivation, the very things we need to keep experiencing progress towards those goals!
One key thing that makes many resolutions virtually impossible to achieve is that the goal is too general or vague. Have you ever made a resolution that was really general? Were you able to achieve it?
For example, a common new year's resolution is "to eat healthier" - but if that isn't defined more clearly, it's going to be very difficult to measure and achieve! A variation of this which is more specific and contributes to eating healthier, would perhaps be a resolution to include fresh vegetables and fruits that you like at each meal. Something specific and definite
How do you feel when you can actually keep track of your progress and see that you've accomplished something? You can when you break down your goals and resolutions into smaller, more specific parts. For me, when I can do that, I feel like I'm getting somewhere, making headway and I can do a little happy dance when I make those smaller goals that lead to a larger goal.
