We discussed this topic at the beginning of the year, and now that it’s nearing the end, it makes sense to do it again. Before we get into it… Happy New Year! Enough with the fun stuff, let’s talk about one important thing: those pesky adult New Year’s resolutions Since we’re still in the grip of a global pandemic, a lot of adult New Year’s resolutions usually revolve around things you can do at home alone. They mainly include eating better, breaking/changing old bad habits, losing weight, changing your diet, getting rid of junk food, wasting less money, reducing alcohol intake, quitting vaping and smoking, etc. How many of us want to be with these adults and watch them through the end of the year? That’s right; as you might imagine, not many. Very few of us are willing to take control of our lives and make New Year’s resolutions that we’ll stick to all year long. Don’t be that girl or that boy in 2022. Whether that means becoming a superstar on camera or being healthier than ever! That’s why we’re talking about how to make your New Year’s resolutions something you want to stick to, and maybe more importantly, how to make them something you want to stick to. Let’s be honest, everyone has made a New Year’s resolution at some point in their life. No, only about 10-20% of people who make New Year’s resolutions follow through on them. That’s not very impressive! So, if you’re in this group, you can pat yourself on the back. According to research, about 35% of people who made New Year’s resolutions in 2020 kept them, about half kept some of their adult resolutions, and more than 16% kept none of them. Many people don’t even try to keep their adult resolutions. This is a bad way to live. Don’t settle for less. If you wonder why so many people fail, the answer is simple: people usually set very high goals that are unattainable. The goals people set for themselves may seem optimistic at first, but they are usually so far beyond their normal daily activities that their bodies cannot cope with the changes. Usually, it refers to the New Year and is associated with extreme challenges such as losing weight (48%), changing their diet (39%), achieving extreme body transformation (50%), saving a lot of money (44%), or even preparing for a marathon in three months. The secret to making a New Year’s resolution you want to keep is to make one you want to follow through on, so you can gradually adjust your goals and lifestyle to achieve long-term success without any shocks. This New Year’s resolution is one of the most popular of all time; in 2020, for example, it was on the list of about 50% of adults. It’s similar to adult resolutions to eat more fruits and vegetables, eat less junk food, and cook more. If any of these items are on your list, we recommend that you create a meal plan that includes balanced foods in your meals. Eat more fruits and vegetables and include healthy snacks in your daily meals, your body will be healthier and your energy levels will get a much-needed boost. Don’t rely on quick diets that promise incredible results – they rarely work. Instead, make small changes to your habits and you’ll see improvements in your health and lifestyle. Use seasonal, local ingredients, cook your meals at home, and bring your lunch to work. Instead of processed snacks, grab a fruit salad or a bag of mixed nuts and you’ll notice the difference immediately.
