It's January 2nd and I've already forgot my New Year's resolution.
However, here are ways to stick to your goals this year.
1. Start by making realistic goals.
If you want to start going to the gym to stay or get in shape, unless you have the time, don't make your goal going to the gym everyday. Try going three or four times a week so you can work around your schedule.
2. Set a goal that YOU want to accomplish; don't just go along with something that all of your friends are doing if it's not something you want.
While your friends may want to go bar hopping every weekend, you may want to binge-watch Jessica Jones or Shameless. By setting a goal that you actually want to achieve, you're more likely to go through with it instead of quitting after a month.
3. Lastly, set a goal that you will enjoy doing.
If you don't like gardening, don't make growing a garden your goal for the year. If you like rock climbing, make your goal to start rock climbing more often. If you set a goal to do something you won't enjoy, then you're less likely to actually do it.
It might be early January, but you can still set a New Year's resolution and you still have a whole year to fulfill it.
