Q: How Can I Make My Resolutions Stick?
A: New Year’s resolutions are a great way to start the New Year with renewed purpose and enthusiasm, and give your health a fresh start.
However, as anyone who’s made a resolution knows, they’re not always easy to keep. Will power tends to be a limited resource and can drop throughout the day, leaving you more susceptible to temptations in the evening.
Whether your resolutions are for health, financial, personal development, or other reasons, there are strategies to help you stay on track.
First, breaking down larger goals into smaller, more manageable goals or steps, and rewarding yourself when you complete each task can help you stay motivated.
Another important key is to get social support. Tell your family, friends, and people in your life about your goals, and how they can support you. Remember, there is power in numbers—as well as more accountability.
When it comes to food resolutions and healthy diet changes, one secret to success is to keep blood sugar levels stable. When your blood sugar is stable, your energy stays steady and you don’t get blood sugar crashes that can leave you craving more sugar and comfort foods, and gaining excess weight.
For additional support to balance blood sugar and reduce cravings, I recommend the supplement ecoMetabolic. This glucose management and metabolic health supplement contains organic functional mushrooms, select nutrients, traditional Chinese herbs, and other botanicals and extracts that work to optimize glucose levels, reduce sugar cravings, and improve overall metabolic function. This formula is an ideal complement to any New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier, cut out excess sugar, and support a healthy weight.*
