MAKING YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION STICK According to Dr. Lynn Bufka, a psychologist, “Setting small, attainable goals throughout the year, instead of a singular, overwhelming goal on January 1 can help you reach whatever it is you strive for. Remember, it is not the extent of the change that matters, but rather the act of recognizing that lifestyle change is important and working toward it, one step at a time.” Here are 5 tips to help with your New Year's Resolution: 1. Start small - Make resolutions that you can keep 2. Change one behavior at a time - Changing unhealthy behaviors takes time 3. Talk about it - Share it with family and friends, or find a support group 4. Don't beat yourself up - Everyone has ups & downs; Recover from your mistakes and get back on track 5. Ask for support - Accepting help from people who care strengthens resilience and ability to manage stress Article Reference: https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/resolution.aspx
