It’s that time of the year again when everyone starts making their new year’s resolutions. Be it losing weight, getting out of debt, quitting smoking – all the classics – everyone think that January is the perfect time to ‘change their lives’

But, sadly, most of these huge changes are short lived. This post will discuss how you can make new year’s resolutions actually work for you – and why you should.

REMOVING OBSTICLES

Let’s think about what actually gets in the way when it comes to sticking to new year’s resolutions…

• Fear of change
• Not wanting to be uncomfortable
• Boredom
• Fear of insecurity
• Being worn-out
• Fear of failing
• Lacking time
• Being busy
• Fear of not being good enough
• Impatience
• Perfectionism
• Getting overwhelmed

We all have fears, doubts and reasons for giving up! But what you need to realize is that none of these are insurmountable.

How can you make positive steps towards avoiding all of these obstacles? There are many ways you can help yourself overcome fears and find motivation to ensure ongoing success:

Take small steps…

If you’re overwhelmed by making a huge change in your life, just focus on one small step instead. Think of one small action can you take today that will move you forward? It might be something as simple as “do an Internet search about what my ideal BMI is”. Taking smaller steps towards change instead of jumping in head first will help you make a bigger overall change.

Hire an Accountant…

No, not an actual accountant – (unless you’re sorting out your finances, that is) – someone who holds you accountable for your actions!

Select at least one person who will hold you accountable for making this change – and who will pop you back in line should you stray from your goals. Make sure it’s someone who won’t let you off the hook if you start to give up.

Embrace the desire you have…

The very fact you’re reading this article suggests that you have a desire to do something positive in your life in the new year. Embrace this desire! Isn’t it pleasing that you want to make a change? See this as the first positive step, one that you’ve already taken and harness it.

Focus of the purpose…

Don’t just simply decide that you’re going to quit smoking because everyone says you probably should. Focus on the WHY. Think deeply about the change you’re making and why you want to make the change in the first place. Quitting will mean you’re making yourself a healthier person, preventing an array of health issues. You’ll have more energy, save some money AND you won’t have to deal with any smelly clothes! Every time you want to give up, resort back to the purpose.

1. Look At Things Differently

How To Stay Motivated To Workout – Looking at things differently can change your mentality from someone who loves the sofa to working as hard as an athlete. It can sometimes come across as a very difficult thing to do, but using different things as an excuse will only damage your chances of becoming fit and healthy. Listen to songs, eat something to make you feel good (within reason) or simply just force yourself to get up and get healthy! Some people may find it hard to get motivated, because they do not enjoy working out, but looking for different exercise methods and playing different sports can help you enjoy working out!

2. Set Goals! 

How To Stay Motivated To Workout – There is nothing more demotivating then working as hard as you can and not seeing the benefit it has done to your body. Regularly monitor yourself and commit to the program you’ve set yourself. People are more likely to be happier when they see the results of all their hard work. Set yourself realistic goals, aim for the milestone and gradually work towards it. Remember it is not a race, as some people take longer than others, but everything you do will help you reach your goal.

3. Routine

How To Stay Motivated To Workout – Finding a routine can sometimes be the hardest thing to do. Fitting the gym into your busy lifestyle can seem a lot easier than it actually is, but finding the time is always important. There are those that workout early in the mornings and there are those that find it easier to go later. Regardless of what time you would like to workout, find a time for yourself and push yourself to get there. Find the time to write a workout calendar, fill in everything and give yourself a reason not to find an excuse.

4. Positivity 

How To Stay Motivated To Workout – Thinking positively can come easier to some than it can to others, that is granted, but it is sometimes as simple as that. Try and do things you do enjoy; the rest will all fall into place. Whether you are taking classes, running, cycling, lifting weights or even rowing; find that enjoyment barrier. However, as much as finding the exercises that are enjoyable, it is also beneficial to give your body a variety to challenge your body and introduce different muscle types into your workout.

5. Find A Gym Buddy 

How To Stay Motivated To Workout – It is as simple as finding someone to go to the gym with. Try your hardest to find someone to workout with, talk to them but do not forget you’re working out together. It is easier to give up when you are going on your own, but going with another person will motivate you to want to challenge, succeed and push yourself that little bit further. There are a number of things you can do including going with friends, joining social media groups and even talking to someone at the gym.

No matter which one of these motivational points you take remember that as soon as you get to the gym you are an athlete. Set a goal, take a friend, monitor your progress and enjoy yourself. You will reap the benefits and ultimately begin to feel healthier with a lot more motivation.
