5 Ways To Stick to Your New Years Resolutions

Its almost the middle of January and by now most of us have changed or modified our goals for the New

Year. It doesn't have to be this way. Here are 5 simple ways to stick to your resolutions once and for all. 

1. Create Reasonable goals

The number one reason goals fail is because people do not create reasonable goals. You can't loose 50 pounds in 2 weeks. Set a goal of 1-3 lbs a week and go from there. 

2. Don't let others create your goals

Many people make their goals based on what family and friends expect of them. That is a big no-no. Never allow others to tell you how to life your life. You wont succeed. 

3. Have an accountability partner 

Have your best friend or spouse hold you accountable for your actions. They will be honest and real with you and want you to succeed just as much as you do. 

4. Consistency is the best policy 

Sometimes its not the most extreme workout that wins the race, its simply being consistent. Agreeing to do the work to get to your goal and staying motivated will get you that much closer to success. 

5. Create a reward system

Make working out or goal setting like a game. If you workout three days a week for two hours allow yourself to buy a certain item. The bigger the goal the bigger the reward.
