Now that the festivities are finally over it is time to get back to your normal routine or use the opportunity to create a new routine. Don't fall for the New Years resolution and try and change yourself from a meat pie to an apple overnight. Take it slow, plan it out and give yourself room to achieve your goals. I recommend writing some positive statements surrounding your monthly goals and posting them on the fridge or bathroom mirror. Only have the current month goals as a reminder and to ensure that you don't get overcome by the change you are heading for. You can work through your goals month to month if that is easier for you or workout a longer term goal and then plan backwards to see how you will achieve it. Remember that your timeframes should be realistic, you need to make time for you to enjoy life and keep the change a positive experience.
For example to lead a healthier life...
JANUARY
I will eat at least 5 serves of vegetable and 2 serves of fruit every day for at least 3 days of every week.
I will exercise at least 3 times every week for 30 minutes.
I will fill my work drawer full of healthy snacks.
I will take / make my work lunch at least 3 times every week.
I will only eat bread with seeds in it.
FEBRUARY
I will continue to achieve January goals.
I will drink a maximum of 2 lattes every work day.
I will not drink alcohol this month.
I will ride my bike at least once on the weekend.
I will get a massage every month I achieve my goals.
I will stretch at least 3 times a week.
I will only eat chocolate once a week (1 normal size bar).
and continue for each month keeping your previous achievements and adding appropriate rewards.
I like positive affirmations so I would recommend finding some words that inspire you and adding them to the top or bottom of your monthly goal sheet or you could add photos, etc. Find what will help to motivate you and use it.
Good luck.
Kylie
