A new year begins. Certainly a good time to think about a better quality of life. Here are a few tips on how to optimize your own life. Lots of courage and strength!
Resolutions are usually made at the beginning of the year. Many are so good that it is a shame if they are forgotten again. How can such goals really be put into practice so that the whole family and environment can benefit from them?
It should not be that good resolutions and goals like
investing more time with the family
to eat and live healthier
to do more exercise and sport
relieve unnecessary stress
stop smoking and drinking alcohol
are simply forgotten - despite initial motivation!
The Start at the Beginning of the New Year
The New Year is a very good time to begin with resolutions like this. At other times it is postponed faster and then unfortunately canceled! It is said that the sooner the implementation of a project is started, the higher the chance of persevering.
A - Beginning with accompaniment
Goals and resolutions that you set up together with others are much easier to achieve than if you want to tackle it alone. By teaming up with family members and friends, everyone can also benefit from the motivation of someone else involved. You automatically and consciously encourage each other.
Do not undertake too much at the same time. It is better to choose less and what is more important and guarantee a successful implementation than too much and then succumbing to excessive demands. Make your goal as attractive as possible. Better quality of life is always worth the effort.
Together we are strong!
Sometimes help can also be provided over greater distances. Where there is a will, there is also a way!
In addition to the mutual incentive, there is also the fact that you can control each other. To tackle this challenge in a team (at least in pairs) promises more success. This is especially recommended when you quit smoking and have a fitness program.
B - Reward of Perseverance
With many resolutions, it is worth planning in interim goals. For example, if you want to reduce your stress, you cannot suddenly switch to zero. It is then better with a ‘step by step’ changeover. You have to learn to say ‘NO thank you’ more and better, to yourself and to others. The delegation of tasks can help in this.
Specify
It is easier to become aware of where success can be achieved with a concrete list of goals: If I want to “eat healthier”, then it is more advantageous to formulate partial steps such as:
There is fruit every morning for breakfast
Fish once a week
Every lunch includes vegetables
Dessert is only available twice a week
How nice it is to start the new day with a HEALTHY AND GOOD breakfast. Mmmm.
Something like this can quickly lead to a sense of achievement. That motivates you to keep going. Once you've done this for a month, you can determine that you want to treat yourself to something. It goes without saying that you shouldn't do this with ice cream, chocolate and vanilla pudding with HEALTHIER LIVING ’. The reward shouldn't be counterproductive to goal setting.
C - Reject discouragement
If you reject discouragement and respond to setbacks that can occur with constructive progress, do not give up, but definitely want to break away from familiar patterns of the past, then you are on the right track. BRAVO!!
Pay attention to circumstances and stimuli that you want to throw back. Avoid this. From now on, a small failure can no longer dissuade you from your goal. It is your decision now.
Some challenges can drag on for up to 3 weeks. But they pass faster than the time after! That is why:
I look ahead and move on! You can practice this very well in our Swiss mountains!!
You will be able to increase your quality of life a lot. Your family and friends will also be delighted with it. I'm happy for you!
