With January 1st<\/sup>\u00a0behind us, our New Year\u2019s Resolutions are in full swing.\u00a0 How is your resolution going?<\/p>\n

We all start the year with the best intentions.\u00a0 We tell ourselves that this year will be different than last year.\u00a0 Our resolutions are going to stick and we\u2019re really going to better ourselves in some way.\u00a0 However, as the days of January start to pass, we may notice ourselves slipping back into our old routines and we start thinking that our New Year\u2019s Resolutions may be a little pointless.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t give up!<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0There\u2019s a reason we set our resolutions.\u00a0 They\u2019re things that we truly want to accomplish so we can\u2019t let go of them so quickly.<\/p>\n

Here are\u00a05 tips to make your resolution stick<\/strong><\/b>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. One by One<\/em><\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 We may make more than one resolution at the beginning of the year, but we should try to take it one at a time.\u00a0\u00a0Trying to change something we do currently or adding something to our usual routine takes time and adjustment (both physically and mentally).\u00a0\u00a0Master one resolution and then move on to the next.<\/li>\n
  2. Be Specific<\/em><\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 The\u00a0top resolution for 2016<\/a><\/b>\u00a0is \u201cEnjoying Life to the Fullest,\u201d () but it\u2019s not enough to just say these words.\u00a0\u00a0How can we make it happen? We need to figure out what we enjoy and resolve to do those things.\u00a0\u00a0If we enjoy traveling, let\u2019s resolve to take a trip this year.\u00a0\u00a0If we enjoy spending time with family, we can resolve to plan a family game night or go out to dinner together once a week.<\/li>\n
  3. Set Short Term Goals<\/em><\/a><\/b>\u2013 If our broad goal is getting healthier, we need to break it up into more manageable pieces.\u00a0\u00a0An example could be, \u201cI\u2019m going to get healthier by going to the gym 3 days a week.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0This will allow us to see our progress and celebrate our victories each week.<\/li>\n
  4. Don\u2019t Beat Yourself Up<\/em><\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 We\u2019re all human.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019re going to slip up occasionally.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe we didn\u2019t make it to the gym as much as we wanted to or at all this week.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s okay!\u00a0\u00a0We can\u2019t let one thing derail all of the progress we\u2019ve already made and can continue to make.<\/li>\n
  5. Write It Down<\/em><\/a><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 As much as we can tell ourselves our resolutions, sometimes an old fashioned pad of paper is all we really need.\u00a0\u00a0Studies have shown that those who write down their goals are much more likely to achieve them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
