Heres How to Beat the Odds!

We’ve just been reading some stats about New Year goals and resolutions. It’s hard to believe, but over 80% of people who make these resolutions ditch them by February. And many don’t even make it until then. 

The good news is that doesn’t need to be you!

Let’s dive into 4 keys to make changes that last…

Dream Big!
It’s essential to take a step back from your life and imagine what significant changes you’d like to create over the next year. If you knew you couldn’t fail, what bigger picture goals would you like to achieve. Once you have a clear target it’s so much easier to create the momentum needed to get there.

Small Steps = Remarkable Results
We know it’s within your reach to increase your energy, improve your mood, lose unwanted weight, strengthen your relationships, and the other goals that mean the most to you. The key here is to take your big picture goals, break them down into bite-sized pieces, small doable steps and calendar when they will happen that week!

Track Your Progress Daily 
Research shows that tracking your daily habits is the best way to build momentum and set yourself up for success. We’re thankful for the latest science on this and have experienced it ourselves, daily tracking provides instant accountability, encouragement and the motivation to keep moving forward.

Celebrate Your Wins Daily
This may surprise you but adding moments of celebration over your daily wins (even the small ones) plays a key role in creating new habits! Leading Stanford Researcher BJ Fogg states, ‘by intentionally celebrating the small wins that occur throughout your day, you create positive feelings which in turn cause your brain to encode a new habit.’ Now we’d say that’s cause for celebrating!
