Short-term goals to make your New Year's resolutions more realistic

Starting a new cycle always brings hope and brings with it an energy that drives us to do new and better things. Definitely, the New Year is a time to make resolutions and start planning, improving habits to be and feel better, both inside and out.Unfortunately, the New Year’s euphoria lasts very little and we set so many goals that are so drastic that fulfilling them becomes a bit complicated. Failing to meet those objectives will surely make you feel bad and disappointed; however, it’s not you, it’s those difficult and crazy goals that are unlikely to achieve.Going to the gym, finding love, eating healthier, traveling the world, or starting your own business are some of the resolutions that everyone makes and end up breaking as the year goes by. That’s why we recommend that when choosing your resolutions, you select your goals correctly: things, actions, and small changes that are realistic for your lifestyle and pace, and that do not require immense effort.What you need to keep in mind is that you must change your habits, and for that, it’s necessary to make small changes that will yield great results. Here are some realistic resolutions that you can achieve in the short term:Walk moreIt is said that we should take at least 10,000 steps a day, but that doesn’t have to be your limit. Trying to walk everywhere will be good for you and your fitness.Drink more waterReplacing sodas and juices with water will not only quench your thirst but also provide you with many benefits that you will see reflected in your skin or appetite. Remember that the foundation for good health and even appearance is being well hydrated.Be more punctualPunctuality is something that almost all of us struggle with, and it only requires organization, both to wake up early, leave home with enough time, as well as having everything ready to avoid last-minute setbacks.Stop complaining about everythingEvery day things happen that are outside your control, and that can cause you discomfort. But your constant complaints don’t help at all; in fact, they only serve to spread your bad mood to others. So you should try to take everything with philosophy and not let everything that happens to you become a problem.Eat healthierA great tip to achieve this is not to think of yourself as being on a diet, as that can make you feel restricted and crave everything. Before you fail by eliminating everything you like and being too strict, try to eat a bit healthier during the week by adding different fruits and vegetables to what you usually eat.Set out to learn how to cook, incorporate healthier ingredients, more vegetables, and bring your own food to the office, that way you’ll ensure you’re eating well.Whatever your goal is, we recommend starting with small actions in the short or medium term so that when you achieve them, it will be another checkmark on your list and you can move on to the next.
