When it comes to keeping a New Year’s resolution, such as losing weight or hitting a health and fitness 

goal, there is a part of us that likes to dream big, believes anything can happen, and has faith that we can

 get there if we try. Instead of letting down the part of us that can foresee reaching our goals, why not put 

in the extra effort to keep our promises to ourselves this year? 

Here are some other ways to get clear on your vision and goals for the new year:

 

Be Authentic

Align your actions and thoughts with your goals - and start living them. Don’t stress over how others in 

your life would act in your situation. Push your favorite celebrity trainer out of your head, be yourself, and

 do what works for you. If you feel good and you’re motivated, you’ll eventually make your resolution 

happen - on your own terms.

 

Define Your Own Personal Success

What does success mean to you? Not to your family, not to a fitness guru, but to you. It might not be a 

number on a scale. It might not be squeezing into a certain size of jeans. It might just be adopting healthier

 eating habits or working out each week. It could even be going back to school to give yourself the career 

boost you’ve been dreaming about. Again, don’t worry about what other people in your life would say 

here; your life and your goals are about what feels good to you.

 

Fake It ‘Til You Make It

Act as though you are already living the life you want to live, with optimum health, physical fitness, and

 an ideal weight. Make a daily practice of taking steps towards this vision. Live as though you are already 

on the path you want to be on, and eventually you’ll realize you’re not even faking it anymore. You’re 

already on your way.

 

Create a Vision Board

Vision boards bring clarity about your vision, and are a great reminder to keep you motivated each day. 

Best of all, there are no rules to vision boards. They can have images of whatever or whomever you want. 

They can be any size, large or small. A vision board can even be digital, thanks to websites like Pinterest. 

Just remember not to get too carried away. Pinterest is great, but if you spend all your time “pinning” 

inspirational images, you’ll never make time to actually work towards your goals. Stop visualizing and 

start doing!

 

Take Steps to Achieve Your Goals

When you set a goal on January 1, you may have already signed up for a gym membership or scheduled

 time with a jogging buddy. Over time, it can be easier to skip the gym or break a jogging date. Reward 

yourself with new jogging shoes after two months without missing a workout. Or promise yourself a 

healthy smoothie after going the extra mile. It can be easy to slack off if working toward a goal has 

become too routine. A little self-incentive from time to time may be enough to keep you on track. 

 

Don’t Be Too Hard on Yourself

It’s more common to break a resolution than to actually follow through. But look on the bright side, if you 

get halfway to your goal that’s better than no goal at all. And who’s to say you can’t pick it right up again 

later in the year?

 

Resist the urge to compare yourself to others during your journey. There is no “pinnacle” for health and 

fitness. Just focus on yourself. Follow these steps and take tangible actions. You can have an absolutely 

incredible year and achieve all of your health and fitness goals. Remember, your best self is cheering you 

on!
