Set Realistic Goals with Wiggle Room The best resolutions are tangible and realistic ones. "When working with clients, I recommend setting non-numerical goals," says Dani Schenone, a holistic wellness specialist at Mindbody. "Normally, we set goals to lose x pounds, eat x calories per day, or work out x times a week. This usually ends with us giving up on January 5th because these goals aren't sustainable, flexible, and they are restrictive and harmful in nature."
Instead, she recommends setting goals that are attainable and give you room to ebb and flow. For example, if you love the idea of running then sign up for a program such as Couch-to-5K and let yourself take a day or two off, if needed.
"Allow in this process the flexibility for life stuff," she says. "Release shame or guilt for skipping a day. Simply make the commitment to come back, no matter what."
