  Did you know that, on average, it takes two months to form a new habit? If your New Year’s resolutions involve changing habits, we suggest you start right now. Follow these simple tips and you will see how in a couple of weeks you will have overcome old vices and acquired healthier habits. Break your goals into small objectives: if you want to quit junk food, start by replacing that slice of pizza at 9 PM with a salad. If you make small changes, it will be easier to continue on that path. Don’t obsess: when you spend the whole day thinking about what you shouldn’t do (like eating cookies), it’s very likely that you will end up wanting to do it. The path to a healthy life should be through discipline but not suffering. Once in a while, having a cake is not bad; the point is to find balance. Analyze your behavior: vices are often defense mechanisms against stress, anger, or sadness. Pay attention to when during the day you feel the urge to smoke, when you have an uncontrollable craving for junk food, or in what situations you start biting your nails. Once you identify the triggers, it will be easier to control them. Do things with determination: never try to change a habit if you are doubtful or not completely comfortable changing that aspect of your life. Before starting any modification, you must be sure and convinced that the adjustments you make will be for your benefit. Repeat: habits (both good and bad) are formed through repetition. So, make an effort and do the same exercise every day so that it becomes part of your daily routine. For healthy habits to be permanently in your life, you need to live them every day, not just on weekends or days before a party. No matter what your goals are, remember that the most important thing is to have a healthy life.
