As we all know, a lot of people start thinking about New Year’s Resolutions this time of the year. Goal setting, whether large or small, helps you to set intentions, gauge progress, and yield tangible results in the New Year. I think about others’ resolutions and wonder if how successful people are at completing them.
A very common New Years resolution that many try to achieve is losing weight. Weight loss and management can be a hard journey, but the motivation for a fresh start always seems to increase the interest level and commitment in the new year. Meal plans, workout schedules, and new fitness regimens are often included in this goal. If weight loss or management is part of your new years resolution, here are some tips to increase your chances of success:
Start small!
One of the biggest mistakes people make is setting overly ambitious rules and regulations for their weight loss regimen. If you historically haven’t given much consideration to your diet, it may be hard for you to cut out an entire group of food. Let’s say that on a normal day, you eat steak, potatoes, and green beans for dinner. It isn’t realistic to tell yourself that you will only have salads for dinner from now on. It makes it much harder on yourself and makes your new diet feel like a chore. Instead of switching the meal entirely, my advice is to replace parts of the meal. This is one easy, small example that can make consistency easier and yield significant results! Why not replace that side of potatoes with a side salad? Gradual habit changes can be more effective in the long term, and are more realistic than trying to overhaul your entire diet or lifestyle.
Gradual Increases!
As you begin to prioritize a healthier lifestyle, gradual changes will help when incorporating more exercise as well. If you’re brand new to exercise, start out with just a five-minute workout each morning, then for the next week, trying adding one additional minute per day, and see how you feel with ten-minute workouts. Once you’ve found a workout length that challenges you while still feeling realistic to keep in your daily schedule, keep up with that length of time. When it becomes easier, or when you want to challenge yourself, you can continue increasing. Everyone has different comfort levels and we’re all on different journeys, it’s okay to start small and work yourself up. Just like meal prep, it’s important to make gradual, consistent changes in the way you exercise as well.
Remember that New Year’s Resolutions are for your benefit, and you shouldn’t compare yourself with anyone else. New years resolutions and goal setting are to help and motivate you on your personal journey. So start slow and make sure you’re comfortable with where you’re at before making bigger changes. By going at your own pace, you are less likely to feel stressed and overwhelmed by your goals, and better able to make consistent progress towards them.
Incorporate Wellness at work
Mobile chair massage at work can also enhance wellness results during the workday and throughout the workweek. There are many benefits of massage, including decreased stress AND increased productivity, which can be especially helpful when starting back after the holidays and heading into a New Year!
