quitters day

The New Year is off to a fresh start, but many resolutions are close to their expiration date. “Quitters Day”, which falls on January 14th this year, typically signifies the end of many resolutions made before New Year’s Eve. How can people really stick to their resolutions and make changes that will stick? LivingBetter50 has some tips directly from doctors for that! 

Resolutions can be effective

MedStar Health surveyed physicians nationwide, and about three-quarters of doctors say New Year’s resolutions can be generally effective. So – how can you ensure that your determination to get healthier and reach your goals will go the distance? Here is some advice to stick with resolutions this year:

Make a plan, not just a resolution

Choosing a New Year resolution can be easy, but creating new habits takes time and energy. Making a plan with organized steps will help you stay committed to your goals. Plans will help you push your resolutions beyond “Quitters Day”.

Pick achievable, bite-sized goals

Think small! Tackling small-scale goals will prepare you to take on larger tasks. Schedule a consistent time devoted to achieving your goals, and you will get there slowly but surely. 

Write down resolutions (on paper or digitally)

Your goals may seem realistic in your head, but writing them down (in a digital notebook or Bullet Journal) will help you achieve them in a stress-free and more efficient way. It’s also a great way to keep track of your progress

Focus on why you are making the change 

Be honest with yourself, and make sure that you are doing what’s best for you. How will your resolutions contribute to your self-improvement? 

Define your motivation 

If you’ve already lost the motivation to achieve your resolutions, don’t be afraid to start again! Instead of waiting for the new year, you can reset your intentions for 2022 now.
