Stay realistic when setting goals

Anyone who has been a couch potato and wants to exercise three times a week from one day to the next will fail sooner or later. To stay on the ball in the long term, it makes more sense to start with a small unit and gradually increase the workload. In addition, you should not just roughly outline your goal, but formulate it clearly. Instead of "I want to lose weight ", you should say "I want to lose two kilos a month".

Reward yourself!

As soon as you have reached a milestone, you can reward yourself by doing something good for yourself. On the other hand, not reaching an intermediate goal must also have consequences. You will then have to wait a little longer for the new T-shirt you actually wanted to buy. Using this pain-pleasure principle makes it much easier to keep your resolutions.

Together you are much stronger!

Seek support from friends or family members when implementing your resolutions. Whether it's running training or attending a language course - it's more fun in a group. You can also motivate each other by sticking to fixed deadlines.

Always keep the goal in mind

Competitive athletes show us how it's done: They visualize. And you can benefit from this technique too. Visualize the moment when you finally reach your goal. This will give you a boost. The feelings of happiness you build up in this way help you to get through difficult phases.
