New Year, Better Me

1/6/2022

 
Guest posting by Emylea Trotter

Happy New Year! We hope you had a safe and fun celebration to ring in the new year. Along with the New Year’s celebrations comes the tradition of making New Year’s resolutions. Resolutions are made to reach their goals, improve their health, and better their lives. Many people are successful at keeping their resolutions, while many others fail.
​

Let’s breakdown the best ways to successfully keep your 2022 resolutions!

How to Keep those Resolutions
  1. Start Small. 
    One of the major reasons that resolutions fail is because most people’s resolutions are too vague or too big. Instead of starting big, breakdown the goal to smaller bite size pieces. For example, don’t make your resolution go to the gym every day instead start off committing to going two or three times a week or 30 minutes of movement a day anywhere. 
  2. Find an accountability partner or group.
    Create a New Year’s resolution list and share it with a trusted friend or close group. According to a study from The American Society of Training and Development, people with accountability partners are 65% more likely to reach their goals. This could look like creating a Google Doc or list with your partner with your goals, deadlines, and specific plans to achieve success. After that make sure to schedule monthly check-in to update each other on every goal. 
  3. Be Patient with Yourself. 
    One of the first responses to not seeing any progress is to give up. Goals, changes, and habits all take time to be successful. In European Journal of Social Psychology, a study researched habit forming, they found that it takes on average 66 days to fully create a goal into a habit. Although the average was 66 days, there was marked variation in how long habits took to form, anywhere from 18 days up to 254 days in the habits examined in their study. 
22 Ideas for Resolutions: 
  1. Drink water every day.
  2. ​Build a better budget. 
  3. Read more books. 
  4. Prioritize yourself. 
  5. Volunteer. 
  6. Consider therapy. 
  7. Learn or hone a new skill. 
  8. Make your bed every morning.
  9. Give yourself more compliments.
  10. Clean out the clutter. 
  11. Call a friend/ family member instead of texting them. 
  12. Let go of grudges.
  13. Remove negativity from your life. 
  14. Wear sunscreen. 
  15. Stretch more. 
  16. Say “NO” more. 
  17. Commit to a cleaning schedule. 
  18. Move more, sit less. 
  19. Develop a skincare routine. 
  20. Get outside more. 
  21. Walk more.
  22. Eat veggies regularly.  

Whatever your traditions or resolutions for the coming year are, we hope you have a better year than last year. Remember to be kind to yourself throughout the year with whatever might come or change. We are proud of you and the steps you take to make yourself better or more of the ‘you’, you want to be. 

If you feel you're ready to take your health into your own hands, let us help support you! Now-January 31st, we're offering a special on our Wellness Screens to help you take a preventative approach to your health. This screen is a holistic health assessment where we discuss your nutrition, sleep, stress and perform a full body musculoskeletal assessment to see how your movement and central nervous systems are functioning together to help provide you with education to better understand your body and maintain a sense of wellbeing.  This can be performed in-person at our clinic or virtually for your convenience.
