Are you guilty of setting a New Year’s resolution only to completely abandon it by February? You’re not alone. Making a commitment to yourself is hard, but knowing exactly how to approach your goals can make all the difference in helping you achieve them.

The Garcia Weight Loss team understands it can be challenging to stick to your resolution, especially ones related to our own health. That’s why we’ve outlined the best ways to approach your New Year’s resolution so that you can achieve your goals faster.

Overcoming Unrealistic Expectations

Unrealistic expectations are the main reason why New Year’s resolutions fall through. We’re all guilty of setting a goal that is clearly unattainable and then punishing ourselves when we don’t succeed. How crazy is that?! Instead, we should focus on small, mile-marker goals and then praise ourselves every step of the way. Even if we do “fail,” at first, we can see the failure as a learning opportunity for the future, not as an excuse to quit altogether.

Ask Yourself These Questions

In the Harvard Health blog, Marcelo Campos, MD says that answering the following five questions can help prime the behavioral change needed to attain your New Year’s resolution:

  1. Why do you want to make the change?
  2. Is your goal concrete and measurable?
  3. What is your plan?
  4. Who can support you as you work toward change?
  5. How will you celebrate your victories?
