It has been almost a month into the new year - how are you doing on your New Year's Resolution?
According to Time Magazine, 80% of people fail to keep their NYE resolutions by February.
Only 8% actually stick to their resolutions for the entire year.
That is because people tend to make unrealistic or extreme resolutions that make it impossible to achieve on an everyday basis. Such as "giving up sugar" or "exercising every day." While diet and exercise are great areas of focus when it comes to making resolutions, they are not long-term goals.
Review your resolution and make sure it is SMART enough for you to complete.
S - Specific
Is your goal clear and direct?
M - Measurable
How will you measure your progress?
A - Achievable
Is your goal something you can attain?
R - Realistic
Identify any obstacles or limitations to consider.
T - Timely
Set a time constraint but not too far ahead to lose ambition.
Make sure to prioritize your mental health as you are working on your resolution.
