Habit Changes for 2024
Hoping to make some changes for the new year? Here are some tips from Niamh on getting the best out of your new years resolutions.
Each person has their own enjoyment, but the ultimate fun of tracking your habits is that we get to see the progress the changes, through different metrics.
Plan out your week ahead when it comes to food and exercise routine weekly. This will help to hold you accountable when it come to creating any new habits that you wan to achieve. it will also set you up for learning how you create new habits and using the structure the next time you hope to change something. Remember it is within your power.
It’s one day at a time. Did you know that after 90 days we tend to give up on our new routines, so when you are around the 90 days mark as you evolve remember to not fall off the band wagon. Stay strong and take it one day at a time.
It is proven that having a set morning routine and following it religiously sets us up for a more enlightened and productive day. Having a consistent morning routine can stimulate the brain into being more active for longer throughout the day making you more creative and energized. You will generally become much more productive with work too, whats not to love.
Meta-cognition plays a big role in this new process. This is the awareness of your own thoughts and beliefs and the patterns behind them. If you be aware of your own thugths and what helps in the way of creating new habits then you on your way to achieving your goals.
Self reflection, every 30 days or so reflect on hat your have achievd or not done so well and this will aid in moving forward with your thoughts and goals. However, beware, only spend a day or so in this zone and move on, it can be very easy to get stuck.
Treat yourself to a spa or hotel night stay once you’ve reached your first milestone. It is always such a big deal when you have set yourself a goal and you have to move onto the next, now is the time to treat yourself to something you enjoy most. the rewards are just as important. This sets the tone for achieving your next big milestone, but remember the treat only comes when you’ve made sure you achieve what you set out to do.
Never ever forget the progress you have made in the past, big or small, . Cheers to a happy and Healthy habitual life in 2024 and beyond.
