Believe it or not, February 1st is in two days. Where did January go?! I spent a lot of my January trying to get back on the good health train. One of my many resolutions for the upcoming year was focusing on feeling good and I knew consuming the right things for my body would make me feel good, physically and mentally. Do you have a New Year’s resolution or resolutions? Have you actually been keeping up with them? Statistics show that 41% of Americans make resolutions, but only 9.2% feel successful in achieving those resolutions. Types of resolutions range all over the charts, from self-improvement to obtaining better health to saving more and spending less.
New Year’s resolutions are an interesting concept. With the New Year often portrayed as a fresh start, many feel the need to make new goals for themselves. But who said that the New Year was the only fresh start? Just think—with a strong mindset you can make any day a fresh start. If you were part of the 90.8% who felt like you didn’t succeeded in your resolutions last year, do not fret! Do not let anyone (especially yourself) keep you from working towards your goals because you ate a piece of cake one night or spent an extra $20 at Target that one time. Start over the next day and move forward from there. Nobody is perfect and life is about balance. Resilience is what is key here. Tell yourself that you WILL succeed. With a little positive thinking and self-motivation, you will be on the road to success—no matter what day of the week it is.
