What blog post or \u201c5 hacks\u201d list is going to be the key for you to make and maintain those New Year\u2019s Resolutions and healthy habits? It\u2019s simple; find out what has caused your habits to fail in the past, and prepare for those roadblocks.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4>As Seasons Change, So Do Our Behaviors<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>We often look at Seasons in terms of periods of the year. Our behaviors tend to shift as we experience Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The season\u2019s unique characteristics affect our lives in many aspects, from the temperature and daylight, to holidays and body image demands. Although we usually attempt to make improvements throughout the year, the holiday season is one filled with family priorities, sweets, cold weather, and stress. After which, many turn to a health sabbatical with a convenient tradition of a New Year\u2019s Resolution.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>New Year\u2019s Resolutions generally coincide with the thoughts of getting ready for warmer weather, the pool, and not being able to hide under heavy clothing. But how effective is this timing for making long-lasting changes? For health goals, they should be long-term for maximal benefit; however, studies show\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/justinconklin\/2018\/12\/18\/new-years-resolutions-are-for-loserstake-these-4-steps-instead\/?sh=61b8a6b5e2cb\">only 8% of people maintain their resolutions<\/a><\/strong>.

These seasons cross the borders of weather seasons and can be interpreted with any period of your life. They can be grade school to high school, college to career, single to married with kids, renting an apartment to owning a home, career vs retirement.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Each season has its wonders and challenges, positives and negatives. Some seasons have built-in physical or health activities; school recess, sports, parent-prepared healthy foods; even physically demanding jobs. Other seasons of life require a personal dedication to meet habit requirements; going to the gym, running, walking, yoga, cross-fit, and preparing your own healthy meals.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4>Making the Time for New Year\u2019s Resolutions<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>When we make a health-related nutrition or fitness goal, we have to allot the time\/commitment to maintain that goal in absence of societal demands. We rarely have trouble committing to the habit of going to school or work; this is because there are immediate personal, financial, societal demands that provide enough of a negative consequence to keep us motivated. But skipping one workout or healthy meal does not have a significant short-term consequence.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Our brains are wired to favor short-term pleasure over long-term consequence. This is why even the moderate benefit of how your body will look in 6 months in a swimsuit is often not immediate enough of a consequence to overcome the short-term pleasures of watching TV instead of exercise, or good tasting and convenient unhealthy meals over healthy ones. Much less, the longer-term health and physical ability impacts as we age.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":1826} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1826\" src=\"https:\/\/livelifephysio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Physical-therapy.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4>What Can You Do To Override Your Brain and Achieve Your Goals?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Accountability is key. You might be missing the natural accountability that you once got from school, work, etc. Especially if you have experienced many seasons of starting and stopping your healthy habits.
