Make your 2018 New Year’s Resolution Stick

Just like that, we are officially in a new year – 2018! With a new year comes new resolutions. Sometimes our list of New Year’s resolutions can be longer than our weekly grocery list. The trick is knowing how to make these New Year’s resolutions stick. Look back at 2018 and be proud of crossing off your list of resolutions with these tricks.

Set Realistic Goals for New Year’s

If you are setting unrealistic goals for yourself, chances are you are not going to successfully reach those goals. Start with small realistic goals first. If you have never worked out before, don’t set your goal to workout 7 days a week. Start by setting your goal at 3-4 days a week. Then gradually get to working out 7 days a week. By setting realistic goals, you are more likely to reach them and in turn the resolution will stick throughout the year.

Break up your goals for the New Year’s

Is one of our New Year’s resolution to purchase a Kelowna home? Are you just $10,000 short of your goal? Instead of saying, I want to save $10,000 this year break it up into weeks or even days. For example… put a small amount per day into a savings account. Breaking up your goals into smaller goals will help when you are trying to save a large sum of money. Rather than saying, I need to put away $835 a month it sounds way easier to say you need to put $28 a day into savings. In the end, you get similar results but it may help by breaking up the goal.

Have someone do it with you

This is a great way to help stick to your New Year’s resolutions. If you are looking to obtain a goal this year, have someone keep you accountable. Try it with your significant other, friend or family member. Hey! Even make it a family challenge. Depending on what the goal is, it may be more fun to include more people and make it a group effort. Are you looking to give back to the community by donating to charity this year? Have a challenge with your family to see who can raise more money for charity. A little friendly competition and it gives back to our community.

2018 is a new year and a new beginning. Set your realistic goals, break them up and have someone do it with you. From the team at Quincy Vrecko and Associates, we wish you all the best in 2018.
