New Year’s Resolutions Continued

In my last post, I wrote about the process of making changes. Now here are some specific tips to help you achieve your goals.


Eating Right
If your new habit is to eat better make sure you schedule a time every week to go to the grocery store to purchase healthy food and prepare your meals at home. Bring your lunch to work and make sure you have healthy snacks on hand when you those hungers pains set in. You don’t want to run to the nearest vending machine for a chocolate bar and a can of soda.

Getting fit
If you’re new habit is to get in shape make sure you schedule a time to go to the heath club each week. Make an appointment with yourself in your weekly planner so that you do not schedule anything else that time of day. You might even consider working out with friend to add a little extra motivation. You don’t want to leave them on the treadmill while you’re at home hitting the snooze bar.


Getting Organized
If you’re new habit is to get organized make sure you schedule time each day to just put things away. Every night before you go to bed spend about 10 minutes going through each room and make sure everything is in order for the next day. You will appreciate it in the morning. Do the same at work. Put your projects away and clear your desk of anything that is not important for your next days work.


Don’t expect instant results. In fact, if you first concentrate on techniques rather than results, you’ll surprise yourself with what you accomplish. Don’t rush. Take time to establish a new habit before you go on to the next. Practice, practice, practice. That’s the only way you’ll improve.

Have a great day!
