How to Make Your New Year’s Health Resolutions Stick

How to Stick to Your Health Goals

We all have great intentions to start fresh and make changes that can benefit our health — however, sometimes, it can be challenging to stay on course and stick to our goals. Don’t beat yourself up over it! It’s okay if you’ve gotten into a rut, and the good news is, there are plenty of ways to get back on track. Here are some tips.

Take Baby Steps

When making changes, diving straight in can be overwhelming — and when we are overwhelmed, we tend to give up or get discouraged from moving forward. Taking small steps and celebrating even the smallest wins can help you stay motivated to continue to keep working towards your health goals.

Be Realistic With Your Workout Routine

If you’ve recently joined a gym to work on your fitness, congratulations! However, when it comes to your workout routine, be realistic about how much you can physically do and how many days you can commit to working out. Overextending yourself and working out too hard if you aren’t used to it, or you aren’t ready for certain types of training can cause an injury. Before attempting any workout routine, check with your doctor to ensure your workout plan coincides with your physical health.

Stay on Track With Meal Prepping

Maybe you do your laundry or clean your house every Sunday morning. Whatever your household routine is, why not add meal prep to your repertoire? Meal prepping can be a great way to ensure you are making healthier food choices. Not only will you have better control over your portions, but you’ll also save time and money too!

Whether you are making full meals for your family, or meals for one, you can plan delicious healthy recipes ahead of time that are ready to go in a pinch.

Ask Family and Friends for Support

When taking on a new positive change, seek out family and friends to help encourage you to stay on track. Having someone cheer you on can keep you motivated and excited about reaching your new year’s health goals. If you have a family member or friend who is also working to increase their health and wellness in the new year, you can support each other!
