Availability Targets Makes Life Easier.
You'll be more liable to to stick to your New Year's resolutions if you secure realistic and achievable goals, an expert suggests in Dec 2013. Too many population try to do too much too fast and set unattainable goals, which simply sets them up for failure, according to Luis Manzo, administrative director of student wellness and assessment at St John's University in New York. "There is no intuit in making a resolution to wake up every morning at 5 AM and dart five miles if you know you are not a morning person and you have never run more than a mile in your life.
Such a goal will just cripple you when you are unable to stick to it," he said in a university news release. "Rather, play to your strengths, prefer goals that you can do and that work for you," Manzo suggested. "Maybe a more realistic goal is perpetual after work for 20 minutes two days during the week and once on the weekend for 25 minutes. Start small, raise your confidence and your motivation will skyrocket".
He offered a number of other suggestions to help you stationary with your resolutions, including. Set aside time each day to work on your goals. For example, if you want to exercise, put it in your calendar. Be unavoidable to factor in the time you need to get to the gym, shower and get dressed. Make your purpose part of your routine. The more you do this, the easier it will be to achieve your goal.
For example, if you want to weld more with family and friends, make it a habit to call them on a certain night of the week. Write your goals down and put out them public. This will make you more accountable. Surround yourself with people who are supportive of your goals. Or you can set goals with a soul mate so that you can encourage each other for more. For example, if you plan to write a book, get back a friend who has the same goal and agree to share your progress and give each other feedback once a week.
