New Years Resolutions

TIS’ THE SEASON FOR NEW YEAR’S  RESOLUTIONS

It’s that time of the year again, where we eat, drink and be merry! And rightly so; it’s been a long tough year, so don’t we deserve to let our hair down a little?

Everything in moderation

As we start to enjoy ourselves we are constantly reminded by the media that everything should be done in moderation. All the celebrity gym junkies and fitness obsessed personalities, give us ‘advice’ on how we can avoid ‘over-indulging’. Let’s be honest, we aren’t going to give up our champagne for that everything should be done in moderation.

We are all intelligent enough to realise that we can’t abuse our bodies in such an over-indulgent manner for too long. So, come January 1, we resolve to make some changes. However, how many of them do we keep? Often, we set ourselves up for failure, not intentionally but because our goals can become a  challenge considering the stresses and demands that our lifestyles dictate.

5 top tips for New Year Resolutions

So, here at AMM, we would like to offer you some sensible and realistic advice in an effort to support you. Here goes;

  1. Start small
    When making resolutions, start small. Consider the daily challenges placed on you from your family and work environments and resolve to make some small changes that can be incorporated into your daily routines. Such as drink a glass of water when waking in the morning.
  2. Set achievable goals
    and let someone know about it. An accountability partner is a great way to help support you keep you on track throughout your journey.
  3. Don’t beat yourself up if things don’t go to plan.
    We often ‘fall off the wagon’ because after a slip up we speak negatively to ourselves. This negative self-talk tells us that we are failures and should just give up. Replace the negative talk with positive talk.
  4. Don’t give up.
     Resilience doesn’t come from not failing but instead rising every time you do fail. After a setback, pick yourself up and dust yourself off and try again.
  5. Reward yourself
     when reaching small goals. The human brain craves a reward system. It helps release ‘feel good’ hormones. So when you do something good, reward yourself and then start working towards your next goal.

The team at AMM wish you a happy and healthy 2017 and hope that all of your resolutions and goals can be achieved. If we can support you in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
