How to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions + Giveaway

Can you believe it’s already 2016?! It’s crazy to think about. It feels like just yesterday I was watching high school musical on New Year’s Eve and one of my resolutions was finding my own Troy Bolton. 2015 brought a lot of challenges for me, but with God I’ve overcome. Let me tell you, he can turn any mess into a message. I’ve grown closer to my family, I’ve started to understand what I truly want to do with my future (can I get an AMEN college friends?) and began this beautiful, blogging adventure. All of these things were accomplished in 2015! Thank you to everyone who has followed along so far. I promise to keep pushing myself in 2016. I’ve set goals for myself, but only one is important: Glorify Him. Whether it’s with school, exercise, or maintaining healthy relationships, that’s the only thing that matters! How will I keep the rest of my new year’s resolutions? I’ve got some tips AND a great giveaway below!

How to Keep Your New Year’s Resolutions in 2016:

1. Set Realistic and Specific Goals– We all want to “be healthy” in 2016, but what does that really mean for you? Set an attainable goal and create a specific exercise plan for yourself this year. You can do this!
2. There’s an App for That– This is so cool. Have you heard of the app stickk? It allows you to set a goal (or resolution) and add money. If you reach the goal, you get your money back! If not, they will donate it to the charity of your choice.  Check out this article on popsugar to view other resolution apps you need for the new year!
3. The Buddy System– One of my personal favorites . Find a friend, significant other, or family member to keep you accountable. Having someone motivate and remind you to keep pushing yourself is key. I’ve got a few workouts you can try with a partner right here!
4. Visible Reminders– If you’re someone who is on their phone 24/7 (guilty) then you can change your phone background to drop that hint about your daily workout you might be skipping. Writing on your mirror, wrist, or a sticky note on your car dashboard can work as well!
5. The Power of Prayer– Psalm 37:5 talks about committing your plans to the Lord. We can have all of the determination in the world, but it can’t come just from you. Ask God for strength and peace as you begin this year and to help you keep your new year’s resolutions!
