Resolution mistakes that can sabotage your New Year\u2019s goals include making your goals too broad, not holding yourself accountable, and making too many resolutions to name just a few. To see more, scroll down to read this post from Paige Smith<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Sabrina Tillman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Resolution<\/p>\n

It\u2019s totally normal to want to reboot your life (and revamp your bod) come January 1, but before you go crazy with your New Year\u2019s resolutions list, you may want to consider what\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0to do.<\/p>\n

Learn more about the most common New Year\u2019s resolution mistakes \u2014 and how you can avoid making them.<\/p>\n

Mistake 1: Your Goal Is Too Broad<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Goals like \u201cgetting fit,\u201d \u201ceating healthy,\u201d and \u201closing weight\u201d are too broad and ambiguous to be successful.<\/p>\n

To follow through with your goals, you need to\u00a0define exactly what they are in clear terms.<\/p>\n

A good way to achieve this is: Make sure your goal passes the\u00a0SMART goals\u00a0test, meaning it should be \u201cSpecific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead of committing to eating more greens \u2014 a goal that\u2019s vague and tedious to measure \u2014 incorporate at least one different vegetable in at least two meals daily.<\/p>\n

Mistake 2: You Don\u2019t Hold Yourself Accountable<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Woman<\/p>\n

If there are no repercussions surrounding your goal, you\u2019re more likely to make excuses, fall behind, or just give up completely.<\/p>\n

To hold yourself accountable, you have to put yourself in situations that make it difficult to slack off.<\/p>\n

If you thrive on encouragement or tough love, ask a friend or family member to check up on you regularly to make sure you\u2019re on track with your goal.<\/p>\n

If you struggle to stay motivated on your own, join an\u00a0online fitness group, or set a non-negotiable exercise date with an\u00a0accountability partner\u00a0so you can\u2019t bail at the last minute.<\/p>\n

If you work well under pressure,\u00a0share your goal on social media, and set a deadline to achieve it. Post progress updates frequently, and ask your social network for encouragement on the hard days.<\/p>\n

Mistake 3: You Make Too Many Resolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you vow to work out every morning\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0run three days a week,\u00a0plus<\/em>\u00a0cut dairy, gluten, and sugar from your diet all at the same time, you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.<\/p>\n

Setting too many equally ambitious goals at the same time isn\u2019t effective.<\/p>\n

Instead of creating multiple resolutions, which can leave you feeling scattered and overwhelmed, focus on one or two goals.<\/p>\n

Strive to make the couple of resolutions you focus on ones that can be built on.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve successfully incorporated one goal into your life, you can gradually add other related mini-goals every week to ensure you\u2019re progressing.<\/p>\n

Mistake 4: You Don\u2019t Develop a Realistic Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Woman<\/p>\n

Setting a goal without creating a plan of action is like constructing a building without laying the foundation first \u2014 it\u2019s totally unsustainable.<\/p>\n

Before you take action,\u00a0make a list of things you can do each day to achieve your goal, then include weekly and monthly milestones you want to hit.<\/p>\n

Breaking your goal down into several smaller short-term goals helps you stay focused and feel accomplished \u2014 even on the super tough days.<\/p>\n

Mistake 5: Your Resolution Feels Like a Chore<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A good goal should be both challenging\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0exciting. It should push you outside your comfort zone, but still be approachable.<\/p>\n

If your goal feels too difficult, daunting, or boring to tackle, tweak it.<\/p>\n

For example, if the idea of lifting weights at the gym four days a week doesn\u2019t rev your engine, pick an activity that does \u2014 hike outdoors with a friend, take a dance class, or join\u00a0BODi\u00a0and get access to hundreds of workouts.<\/p>\n

Mistake 6: You Don\u2019t Celebrate Your Progress<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s tough to stay disciplined if you have nothing to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Instead of waiting to treat yourself or have fun until you hit your goal (which \u2014 let\u2019s be real \u2014 can seem like a lifetime away), pause every now and then to acknowledge your hard work and progress.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the small victories; it will help you stay motivated and excited for more.<\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong>\u00a0If your inclination is to celebrate with an edible treat, rethink your strategy. While occasional cheats and treats help keep us sane, they shouldn\u2019t become a celebration default.<\/p>\n

Instead, treat yourself to new motivational or performance workout gear. Reward your discipline with a massage, pedicure, haircut, or spa day.<\/p>\n

Easy, Effective New Year\u2019s Resolution Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Need some sample resolutions to get started? We\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Try a\u00a0clean-eating\u00a0challenge, where you vow to avoid processed foods and eat real, whole foods instead. Try this for
    \n30 consecutive days, and when you hit the one-month mark, commit to another 30 days. Repeat until this becomes the way you eat.<\/li>\n
  • Cut soda, even diet soda, and high-calorie drinks from your diet. Get your\u00a0fluids from good ol\u2019 pure water, plain coffee, or tea (a splash of milk or non-dairy milk is OK), and nutrient-packed smoothies or\u00a0Shakeology.<\/li>\n
  • Eat two extra servings of veggies\u00a0every day for a month.<\/li>\n
  • Cook\u00a0clean, healthy recipes\u00a0at home at least four nights a week. Make a point to try one new recipe a week.<\/li>\n
  • When you eat out, swap your carb-filled sides (such as fries or breakfast potatoes) with veggies or fruit.<\/li>\n
  • Do your daily workout early in the morning; you\u2019ll be less likely to schedule something over your exercise time, or not do it because a last-minute meeting came up. You\u2019ll have to fight the urge to snooze, though.<\/li>\n
  • Make a workout date with a friend\u00a0at least once a week. Can\u2019t get out of the house, or too cold and dark out? Invite your friend to your house and get your sweat on in your living room with a\u00a0BODi\u00a0workout.<\/li>\n
  • Bring your lunch\u00a0to work one day a week, then keep adding another day each week.<\/li>\n
  • Limit the amount of sweetener\u00a0you put in your coffee or tea. To start, reduce it by half.<\/li>\n
  • Drink a glass of water every morning when you wake up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Keys to Successful New Year\u2019s Resolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Pick one or two \u2014 but no more than three \u2014 specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely resolutions that are compatible with your current fitness level, and won\u2019t require super drastic changes to your schedule or lifestyle.<\/p>\n

    Start with small and specific goals that can be built on after they\u2019re implemented and habitual.<\/p>\n

    Make sure to factor in an action plan for executing your goals, and building on them once you hit milestones.<\/p>\n

    Pause a few times to reassess whether your goals are working for you, and don\u2019t forget to celebrate your progress!<\/p>\n
