Every year, January 1st inspires resolutions of all shapes and sizes. Lose weight, make more money, get outside more often, quit smoking, eat healthier…the list goes on. We use this time of the year to reflect on where we are in our lives and determine what we’d like to change. A new year carries promise and opportunity for renewed health, amplified happiness and so much more. It’s a time when we hope that our situation can change for the better. Whatever your New Years’ resolutions, here are some tips to help you succeed this year.

Make your resolution reasonable and attainable.

Instead of making a resolution such as “I am going to lose weight,” try defining your actions in order to reach your goal. Resolutions such as “I will go to the gym three times each week” or “I will not snack after 7pm” are specific and defined actions that will assist you in reaching your goal of losing weight. Furthermore, find a realistic starting point; begin with an attractive, doable number of days at the gym. Build on that goal as your new habit develops.

Make your resolution measurable.

Developing a measurable outcome is an important part of the resolution process. A resolution of “I will become healthier and more active this year” might have a measurable outcome of “I will be able to run 10km without stopping by the end of the year.” Define some milestones along the way to your goal and reward yourself when you meet them to keep motivated and ambitious.

Perhaps your resolution goes hand in hand with a surgical procedure, such as a tummy tuck or breast lift – something just for you. We’re happy to help you reach your ideal outcome and we can walk you, step-by-step, through the process. Begin with scheduling a thorough consultation. We want you to look and feel like the best you.

Happy New Year to you and yours!
