Best Practices for Setting New Year’s Resolutions and Forming Sustainable Habits for Health and Wellness
January 3, 2025
The New Year is here! As eating season comes to an end, Fitness season begins. Honestly we shouldn’t be in this cycle of abusing our body and then react to try to make it healthy again. It doesn’t really work well, so we would recommend making real lasting change.
Best Practices for Setting New Year’s Resolutions and Forming Sustainable Habits for Health and Wellness
Start Small and Specific: Set realistic, actionable goals that are clear and manageable. Instead of “be healthier,” try “walk 10 minutes after dinner” or “drink 8 glasses of water daily.”
Focus on One Change at a Time: Building one habit at a time helps create lasting behavior. Overloading with multiple goals often leads to burnout.
Tie Goals to Values: Align resolutions with what truly matters to you, like improving energy to play with kids or reducing stress to feel more present. This keeps motivation strong.
Make It Measurable: Track progress to stay accountable. Use a journal, app, or calendar to celebrate milestones and reflect on successes.
Prioritize Consistency Over Perfection: Progress, not perfection, builds habits. If you miss a day, start fresh the next without guilt.
Build Habits into Existing Routines: Attach new habits to something you already do, like meditating after brushing your teeth or stretching after your morning coffee.
Enlist Support: Share your goals with a friend, coach, or group. Social accountability and encouragement make you more likely to succeed. Talk to your PT! This is what we love to do!
Focus on Wellness, Not Restriction: Instead of focusing on cutting things out, focus on adding nourishing practices, like better sleep, mindfulness, or nutrient-dense meals.
Review and Adjust: Periodically check in to ensure your goals still align with your needs. Life changes, and so can your resolutions.
