How to successfully implement your resolutions

2:34

The turn of the year is now a few months behind us - and with it most New Year's resolutions. Maybe you started out strong, but now your motivation is waning? You're not alone! According to studies, 43% of people give up on their resolutions in January, and only just under 9% stick to them by March.

But don't worry: now is the perfect time to get going again! Because it's not about when you start - it's about starting at all.

🔥 Why most goals fail

The biggest obstacle is not the resolution itself, but the lack of connection to the "why". People often set goals such as "exercise more" or "eat healthier", but without a clear inner motivation, it becomes difficult to stick to them.

💡 The solution? Take a few minutes today and think about not only what you want to change, but why you really want to.

- Do you want to be fitter so you can experience more with your children or grandchildren? 🏃‍♂️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

- Do you want to read more to expand your knowledge and stay inspired? 📚🤓

- Do you want to spend less time on your phone to focus on the really important things? 📵🧘

The "why" is the engine that drives you - not the discipline or the perfect routine.

🎯 Your new start in March

Even if you may have lost sight of your resolutions, now is the best time to get back on track! And it's easier than you think:

✅ Start small: it's better to exercise for 5 minutes a day than an hour once a week and then stop again.

✅ Make it concrete: instead of "I want to eat healthier", say "I will eat a healthy breakfast every day."

✅ Build in routines: Link new habits to existing ones - for example, "After brushing my teeth, I'll drink a glass of water."

✅ Avoid unnecessary hurdles: If you want to go to the gym after work, pack your bag in the morning. 🎒

🔄 Make it easy for yourself

The biggest success factor is not iron willpower, but clever planning. If you want to eat healthier but don't have time to cook, then prepare meals in advance or use healthy alternatives. Research shows: People who plan meals eat healthier in the long term.
