It’s that time of year when everyone starts talking resolutions. Did you know that within 3 weeks of the new year, most people give up on their resolutions? I also struggle with keeping up with my new years goals, so this year I truly want to change my lifestyle to make healthy habits that are sustainable all year round! Keep reading for three tips that I use to stay on track with my fitness goals.

START SMALL

Starting small is one of the best ways to keep up with your goals! If your goal is to run a marathon, you probably shouldn’t start sprinting the first day. I have a tendency to aim high and end up making my resolutions unrealistic. By doing so, I often set myself up to get discouraged and never end up sticking to them. For example, you could start by walking a couple miles for a few weeks, then try jogging and finally running after a couple of months. By setting smaller goals along the way you can hold yourself accountable while tracking your progress in increments!

FIGURE OUT YOUR “WHY”

Throughout the years I’ve realized that you have to be internally motivated to make any change in your life. You have to want to change for yourself, not just to please others by having their opinions in mind. Fitness is more than just body image, as I always find my motivation on a path towards health and happiness. I want to be an example to Aimery as he gets older and show him what a healthy lifestyle looks like in all aspects. Having deeper intentions and realizing the various benefits of wellness has made all of the difference when it comes to setting goals and sticking to them! 

CLOSET REFRESH

It really is possible to change your life in a year. I’m a totally different person than I was this time last year, or even just 6 months ago! As everyone gets caught up in the idea of resolutions, remember that change isn’t going to happen overnight. By adjusting small things in your life, you can stay committed to the healthy lifestyle you’ve been aiming for. If you start now, you might just end up right where you always wanted to be.
