New Year, New Me: What It means to create long lasting New Year’s Resolutions.

The year 2019 comes to an end and the year 2020 is filled with possibilities. Hope for new beginnings, people flocking to fill out their gym memberships, self help books flying off the shelves, and hair appointments line the schedules of salons. Then there is you, you look back on your 2019 resolutions, where they met? Did they help you? Was their longevity involved? As the answers rattle in your brain, your palms begin to sweat, your heart skips a beat, and you think can I even make these resolutions possible. Well don’t fear my friend! I am here to help you along the way. Now let`s create some New Year Resolutions with you and your goals in mind.

BE REALISTIC

What is the first step? Create a goal that you can fill full in one year. We tend to over estimate what we can accomplish in a year and under estimate what we can accomplish in 3 years. As much as we say the sky is the limit, we do not want to set ourselves up for failure. Be realistic in setting your resolution by thinking, Will I be stressed in completing this in a year or is a year plenty of time for not only myself to focus on this resolution, but also be able to focus on other accepts of my life?
