“Did you know… it only takes 21 days to form a new habit?”
Hold on to the new year's resolutions
If you start applying your resolutions on January 1, you will not know any better around January 21, 2023. After all, it only takes 21 days to adopt a new habit, but how do you keep your motivation during those first three weeks? For example, if you want to go to the gym more often this year to strengthen yourself both mentally and physically, you can apply the following tips:
-
Reserve fixed times when you want to exercise. Morning and evening sessions comes with different benefits and drawbacks.
-
Put on your workout clothes on the days you go to the gym. This will motivate you to persevere and actually get to the gym.
-
Determine how you reward yourself for sticking to resolutions. For example, if you went to the gym, you deserve a nutritious and delicious meal afterwards.
Build a routine that works for you
The key to a healthy lifestyle is finding a balance between work, your family and exclusive time for yourself. If you're constantly working and you don't make much time for anything else, it will take its toll. The best way to find this balance is to build a routine that works well for you and your personal situation. The most important thing here is that you guard your own boundaries. This year, for example, practice reserving time for yourself or start saying no more often. This makes it easier to put yourself first, so that you can keep following your good resolutions.
Put yourself first this year
Good resolutions only work if you have a positive feeling about them yourself. For example, don't you like being in the gym, but you want to strengthen your body this year? Then you can also immerse yourself in home exercises such as yoga, pilates and even jumping rope. Also at home, putting on sportswear motivates you to perform a workout. Therefore, even if you stay at home to exercise, get sportswear that makes you feel comfortable.

Reward yourself for achieving goals
Rewards are not always touchable and they do not have to be expensive. A reward can be as simple as telling yourself "well done" or taking some time off from work to enjoy some well-earned rest. Rewards can take many forms, but most importantly they should feel good and make you feel fulfilled. It's also important that you reward yourself for every goal you achieve and not just for big goals like losing 5 kilos or completing a big assignment.
It's important to reward yourself for achieving your goals and milestones. Because if you don't reward yourself, you feel like you're doing it all for nothing. Therefore, decide now how you are going to reward yourself for all your hard work in January and make sure that it is achievable to give this reward to yourself as well. For example, combine a savings goal with your good intentions and put a few euros in a closed piggy bank when you have fulfilled your good resolution. This way, you can be sure that you can reward yourself after achieving a goal.
