New Year, New You?
New Year, New You?
Follow these 5 quick guidelines to ensure your goals are met this upcoming semester.
1. Have Clear Goals
Try not to be vague with what you
want to get accomplished. Be specific. If you tell yourself I want to lose
weight, then for example make it, “I will lose 15 pounds in the next 3-6 months
by eliminating junk food and drinking only water”. Also, writing down your
goals can help you to figure out the steps that need to be done to get to
there. It will also encourage you to get them done.
2. Make Sure You Stay Realistic and Measurable.
Break down your goal. In order to
fulfill it, it will take time. Build a routine in which you know your limit and
comfort. When opting to try new things, slowly incorporate them into your
routine.
3. Keep Things Different
Having a lack of variety in your
workouts can eventually become boring. Take this new semester as a chance to
try things out that you’ve probably been skeptical or afraid to try. Exercise
does not have to be a formal activity. You can easily incorporate healthy ways
and workouts in your everyday activities. Once they become habits, achieving
your goals becomes easier to do without it feeling like a regimen.
“The brain likes comfortable old
habits over new different ones.”
4. Create a Schedule
Activities can become routine and also easier to do when you
set up a schedule. Make time for health and exercise, your body will thank you!
Squeeze times for workouts in between or after classes/work. Also, keeping a
timely schedule will help you to manage your day so that you do everything you
want to get accomplished.
5. Treat Yo’Self
Don’t forget about YOURSELF. Encourage yourself to try new
things or to step up a level. Then, choose a reward that won’t undo your hard
work. For instance, pamper yourself or have a small cheat with a movie night
and popcorn.
