Resolve to Keep Your Resolutions | Spiritual and Physical Wellness – ChicagoNow

By Sheri McIntosh, today at 1:06 am

How long does New Years resolutions typically last? One survey I found said 12 days and another said they last for most people until the end of January. Twelve days seems short. I totally believe the end of January survey. We get excited on January 1. The beginning of a new year. We plan to tackle our major issues whether it is losing weight, exercising, or quit smoking. However, the day-to-day grind can take our enthusiasm.

I want to encourage you that if you overeat on January 31, skip going to the gym for a couple of days, or have a cigarette, do not give up. Let the past go and get back to it. Major change is a process. Think of it as marathon and not a sprint. I do not make weight loss goals anymore. My goal is to live a healthy lifestyle. I try to make sure I get my rest, find a healthy way to handle stress, exercise, and eat healthy. If I have a bad day, I dont mentally beat myself up over it. I have learned to forgive myself. I determine to do better the next day.

Whatever your goals are for 2020 tell yourself you can do it. Just make sure your goals are reasonable and realistic. If you want to lose 20 pounds do not feel bad if you lose 10. There is a theory that it takes 21 days for a new activity to become a habit and six months for it to become part of your personality.,
