New Year, New Me!! How many years/times have we said that when January 1st comes around? There is nothing wrong with setting goals, but sometimes we set those goals with no plan in place and then get frustrated when we do not reach them.
Set realistic goals
Decide which goals are short-term: 1 - 2 months and long-term goals: 6 - 12 months
Set a reminder or alarm to help you stay on track
Recruit family and friends to help keep you honest
Couple a new habit with an old habit (idea courtesy of the book Atomic Habits)
Be flexible. Life happens and things will come up. Have a back up plan, especially if it's a fitness goal.
