12 Tips to Help You Stick and Achieve New Year’s Health and Wellness Goals

We all aim to be healthy and wealthy this year and in the coming years. And we know each one of us has health and wellness goals that we want to achieve this year. But, when we have reviewed our previous years’ goals, we can observe that there are times that we lost track and failed to achieve those goals. Also, there are times we gave up especially if we face some challenges since it entails some lifestyle changes. However, achieving these health goals is one of the greatest yearly achievements that we can have – a feeling of self-actualization or being able to realize your full potential.

As the year has already started, we want to help you stick and be able to achieve your health and wellness goals. Below are some tips on how you can achieve your goals for this year.

Best Ways to Stick and Achieve Your Health & Wellness Goals

1. Make sure that you have realistic goals

If you already created a plan, make sure that it is attainable. If you haven’t yet created, it’s not yet too late but remember to have a set of realistic goals. Never plan something that unattainable. Always deal with reality since unfulfilled goals can lead to disappointment.

2. Outline Your Strategy

Decide how the temptation to miss the workout would be dealt with. This could involve asking for support from a friend, practicing constructive thinking and self-talk, or reminding yourself how your “bad behavior” can influence your target. People who are trying to exercise, lose weight, and avoid smoking are all doomed for failure at the same time. Choose a “target” activity that is important to you and for a long time that you have wanted to improve.

3. Take Small Steps

To work towards whatever you are trying to accomplish, you can set sub-goals or build a training regime. Creating tiny, seemingly simple tasks will help develop your confidence and prepare you in the future to achieve more difficult goals. if your target is to lose 50 pounds. Substitute one guilty pleasure, such as cookies or ice cream, for something healthy that you love, such as your favorite piece of fruit, instead of overhauling your entire diet.

4. Acknowledge that it’s progress.

Recognizing that it can take a long time before you reach your objectives can mean understanding that only one action at a time needs to be modified.  Go easy on yourself. Don’t give up, if you stray off track. Accept your relapse as an experience of learning. Try to find out why you have slipped back into a bad habit and what you can do to stop it from happening again. Nobody’s flawless.

5. Don’t be a perfectionist, acknowledge your limitations.

Do not beat yourself up if you fail to hit one sometimes we have limitations, or even a few, of your sub-goals. Perfection for everyone is not realistic. We all have days off, but you can reflect on what you have done so far and how you can get back on track with the help of your support system.

6. Interact with people with the same health and wellness goals

Find people who share and follow your goals together. This time of year, in fitness classes, support groups, and smoking reduction services, like-minded people are easy to find. When you interact with other like-minded individuals, people appear to be more effective at achieving their goals. We also tend to model the actions of the people we like and respect, so it is important to surround yourself with people that strengthen behaviors that will help you achieve your goals.

7. Track your progress

Keep track of each small accomplishment. Putting down stuff allows you to state your goals and monitor your progress. It is an indication of your determination and a good way to look back and see how far you have come, which will encourage you to proceed. Short-term goals are simpler to manage, and any small success will help keep you focused. Focus on losing the first five, rather than concentrating on losing 30 pounds. To help you stay on track, keep a food log, and reward yourself for every five pounds you have lost.

8. Always Have a Daily Reminder  ( A way to stick to your plan)

Get yourself to be reminded of what you need to achieve for the year. It’s one way of making us realize to stick with our plan. Remember that, it is not going to happen overnight, be patient and persistent!

9. Keep track of what you consume

Use personalized applications that keep track of the calories that you eat.  Tracking will help you tweak your diet so that without sabotaging your weight loss or healthy eating attempts, you can still enjoy foods you love.

10. Be prepared for lapses

Taking a moment to realize that you have been sidetracked is vital for you, but don’t use it as an excuse to throw in the towel. Every day is a fresh opportunity to start over, so return immediately to your safe lifestyle.

11. Reward yourself

As you achieve your goals, it’s time to reward yourself. For example, if your goal is to lose some weight, you may reward yourself with new clothes, going to a movie and etc. But, don’t ever reward yourself with foods that can make you gain some weight again. It must be something gratifying but still set you on the right track.

12. Stay Motivated

To be motivated and be able to successfully achieve your health and wellness goals, one important thing that you need to do is to stay inspired. Always remind yourself of the advantages that you can get when you able to achieve your goals. We all know that it can be difficult at the start but as you go along and see the bigger picture you will realize the value. But, always remember that you must have a full commitment when you want to achieve your health and wellness goals.

Always remember that you have to achieve this goal for yourself. When you love and care for yourself, you find it easier to stick and achieve your health and wellness goals.
