To help people make their New Year's resolution stick, Alashari suggests three simple ways to make 2017 your best year ever.
- Make your resolution the result, NOT the ritual. Many of us get caught up in the day-to-day activity, when in fact, it is the result we are after. For example, if your goal is to lose 15 pounds, don't just set a goal of running one mile every day. Instead, it is more effective and enjoyable to incorporate running, swimming, biking, or walking.
- Remember to remember, and leverage your legwork. To avoid distractions keep your resolution in front of you by presetting alarms to exercise, posting your weight loss goal on your refrigerator or wearing a wristband with your goal.
- Transform the intangible into the tangible. Practice visualizing your goal already realized (i.e. imagine yourself spending more quality time with your children or visiting the tropical island you saved for). Make this a daily habit, and return to your vision whenever you feel discouraged. Make daily progress which is consistent with the attainment of the goal, and remember that the key is progress, not perfection.
