Remember: it's about the journey, not the destination.
Maybe your Dryuary got a little damp or vow to be kinder and gentler to others fell apart on Twitter.
We checked in with Douglas Alards-Tomalin, psychology professor at Capilano University, about what makes for a good resolution and tips on how to stay on track.“The start of a new year is a convenient time for people to re-evaluate their identiy,” said Alards-Tomalin. “The next inevitable step is ‘OK, well where am I going? And who do I want to be?'”
“I think the reason for that has to do largely with what kind of goals people are setting for themselves as New Year’s resolutions,” said Alards-Tomalin. If losing weight is your goal, that might involve making changes to your diet and it might involve increasing your exercise schedule. “But it’s not necessarily something you’re going to accomplish in the first month or the first two months. You’re going to have to do it in in a series of much smaller steps.”Second, be positive. “Positive” resolutions are usually more effective than “negative” resolutions, said Alards-Tomalin.
