CREATING NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

Its  the beginning of 2014!!! and New Year’s Eve is often seen as a chance to start, renew or commit to new years resolutions and goals we want to accomplish. We all come up with the regular resolutions for the upcoming year such as losing weight, learn something new, have a successful career or work on our relationships.  But often these ideas of what should change are easier said then done and usually when we commit to such goals they seem to drift away throughout the mid new year.
Instead of focusing on what we should change we should all vow to take a closer look into our lives and make decisions about ourselves rather then setting such massive goals. 

The trick is to start small so that the ultimate goal you are aiming for is easier to achieve. For example..
Instead of committing to lose weight, try committing to eating healthier or moving your body everyday.
This way when you commit to incorporating these small goals into your everyday life the bigger goal will be much more easier to accomplish.  

Dont know where to start?? here are a thew tips to get you started! 

1) Write them down 

A good way to set goals is to write them down in a diary or in a note pad. Write your goals down without over thinking of how your gonna get there or achieve it. Just write them down in no order, big or small it doesn't matter as long as you have some ideas. 

2) Hang them up 

Next hang up a list of your goals on your fridge, bathroom mirror, save it to your phone or anywhere you pass by everyday. By seeing your goals in front of you, even if they are on a list will remind you to keep going and encourage you to commit to the ultimate goal!

3) Make a vision board

My favourite way to set goals is to create a vision board. vision boards are a great way to in vision what you desire in pictures and images. to create a vision board you simply need a piece of cardboard or paper, magazines, scissors and glue and rest is up to you and your imagination! Flick through the magazines and find pictures that attract to you, inspire or relate to the goals you want to achieve. Dream big ! and once finished hang it up in your room so that when you wake up in the morning you see your goals right in front of you, and this gives you the motivation to commit and achieve them. 

I hope these tips help and assist you in creating your best year yet! Remember if you start to lose sight of your goals, just reassess what your ultimate goal is and do what you can to regain that motivation! 

Cheers to health!
