Start Your New Year Off Right With Better Health

January Newsletter

Making a New Year’s Resolution is a fantastic way to make a positive healthy change in your life. Although studies state that 80% of resolutions are broken by the 2^nd week of February, if you set yourself up for success you can achieve your goals. Here are some tips…

1.     Figure out your Why?  - If you know the reason that is fueling your desire, you are more likely to acheive it

2.     Be Prepared   - Always be ready for the unexpected, snacks on hand if you are trying to change eating habits, your gym bag already packed if you are trying to workout more, you are more likely to follow through and not cheat if you are prepared.

3.     Take it a Week at a Time  - Don’t focus on next month or three months from now, focus on what you can achieve in this one week alone and then tackle the next week. Consistency is key.

4.     Share Your Battle  - You are more likely to succeed with a support system, social media is great for this, find people with the same goals and support each other!
