It’s a new year and maybe you’re thinking that it’s even time for a new you.

At the start of 2019, you may have set several big goals or made a few resolutions. Initially, you probably felt really excited about them. You might have even had a vision of what your life was going to look like once they were accomplished.

But then reality hit. A family member is having a crisis. Your kids need help with homework. Your husband is working late. You’re tired and overwhelmed. And your goals already seem like they’re too far off in the distance to ever become a reality. Whatever it is, it’s getting in the way of the vision you had of your future self and the life you were dreaming of.

Trust me…I get it!!

As a wife, entrepreneur, graduate student, and mom to three fur babies, I understand how busy life can get. Sometimes the struggle is so real that it feels as if you’re barely staying afloat.

Am I right?!

And because everyone else’s needs seem like a priority, it often results in putting off the things that are personally rewarding and fulfilling to you.

But it’s not too late to recommit to your new year’s goals or resolutions. They are still attainable.

Here are my top 3 tips for helping my clients stick to their goals:

1. Reward yourself:

Determine if you need a daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly reward. Every time you stick to your goal, reward yourself.

Example: If you are trying to lose weight, you might reward yourself with a new outfit every time you lose 10 pounds.

2. Stay motivated:

It’s important to focus on what motivates you. When I was sick and bedridden, my motivation was to heal so I could live a full and happy life. I was also motivated to help other women take better care of themselves so they could avoid what I went through.

Example: A great tool for staying motivated is to put reminders – such as inspirational photos or quotes – in places you can see multiple times a day, such as your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, and wallet.

3. Be held accountable:

Share your goal with a family member or friend who will hold you accountable. This should be someone who is able to commit to supporting you long-term. Check in with them – and ask them to check in with you – as often as you need, even if that means daily or several times a day.

Example: Trying to cut sugar? Call you accountability buddy when a big craving hits and go grab a green juice or smoothie instead.

Let me know how these work for you. I always love hearing your success stories!

Wishing you peace and love,
