Making That Lifestyle Stick

There’s nothing worse than working hard to make positive changes in your life, only to slip back into your old ways. It seems inevitable; as they say, “old habits die hard.” How can you fight back against an idiom that dates back hundreds of years?

Turns out, it can be much simpler than you think. There are tried and true ways that you can use to make a valuable lifestyle change that lasts. Follow these tips to learn how to make a lifestyle change and kiss the old you goodbye once and for all.

Document Your Goals and Progress

To learn how to change your lifestyle, the first thing you need is a goal to aim for. Be specific about what you want to change and why! If you have a clear goal in mind, it will be much harder to give up.

Also, be sure to document your progress. Seeing how far you’ve come is a great motivator to keep you moving forward! 

Make Small Changes First

If you make too many drastic changes at once, you’ll soon be overwhelmed and hopeless. Ease into your new lifestyle by taking small steps.

For example, if you’re changing your diet, don’t cut out your favorite things all at once. Start by replacing one snack per day with a healthier option or drinking water in place of a coffee. You can meet your goals little by little.

Remember, when it comes to changing your life, slow and steady is the way!

Get Support and Accountability

You’re more likely to stick with healthy lifestyle changes if you’re not doing it alone. Either find someone to make the journey with you, or let people know what you’re doing. Your support system will act as an external motivator to keep up with your new habits.

Your support system doesn’t have to be close friends and families; sometimes authority figures will do the trick better than your best friends. For instance, if you’re making lifestyle changes to lose weight, support and accountability can come from a doctor or personal trainer! 

Celebrate Often

Every little victory on the long journey towards changing yourself deserves recognition! When you meet a goal or even resist slipping into an old habit, pat yourself on the back. Be proud of your progress and confident in the changes that you’re making and you’ll be happier about your decision! 

Planning a celebration is also a reason to get excited about meeting your next goals! You may find yourself surpassing expectations if you’re passionate about your achievements.
