HOUSTON – For most of us, a New Year brings a clean slate.
A time to change bad habits or try something new.
But if you find yourself having a hard time keeping those New Year’s resolutions – you are not alone!
Dr. Shana D. Lewis, a licensed professional counselor, shares some real solutions to help you stay on track with your goals.
She broke it all down for us with this easy to remember acronym – N.E.W. Y.E.A.R.
N- No Resolutions! Dr. Shana instead refers to these goals as a “revolution.”
E- Evaluate what you really want or need to get where you want to go.
W- Write it down.
Y- Yell it to somebody.
E- Eliminate people, places, or things that are not aligned with where you said you wanted to go.
A- Always include a self-care plan to support your goals.
R- Redesign the goal. Make goals in 90-day increments.
