Happy holidays! Before we kick off the new year here at CareBuilders, I wanted to introduce Resolution January. Throughout the month of January, we\u2019ll be sharing one post each week focused on building resolutions that are realistic and sustainable. This won\u2019t be about setting goals that feel good for a week and then fade away\u2014we\u2019ll be talking about how to build healthy habits that actually fit into everyday life. To get started a little early, here\u2019s a quick overview of the types of resolutions we\u2019ll be focusing on.<\/p>\n

\"Caregiver <\/p>\n

Starting Small<\/h4>\n

Beginning with small, manageable steps and building gradually is one of the best ways to make a change stick long term. For example, if you currently drink about one glass of water a day and your goal is to eventually drink eight glasses (64 ounces), starting with eight glasses on January 1st can feel overwhelming. Instead, you might focus on consistently drinking one glass a day at first, then slowly increasing by one glass every few weeks. Even if progress stalls at some point, you\u2019re still doing more than you were before\u2014and that counts. <\/p>\n

Reflecting on What Makes You Happy<\/h4>\n

Resolutions are easier to maintain when they\u2019re built around things you actually enjoy. If you dislike going to the gym but enjoy walking your dog, a resolution focused on longer or more frequent walks is likely to be more sustainable. Some changes\u2014like following a specific diet for medical reasons\u2014are necessary even if they aren\u2019t enjoyable, but many resolutions fail simply because they\u2019re based on what we think we *should* do rather than what realistically fits our lives.<\/p>\n

Research supports this approach as well. The American Psychological Association\u2019s guidance on goal setting<\/a> highlights that goals rooted in personal values and broken into smaller steps are more likely to succeed over time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to follow along with the full series, you can find all of the upcoming posts under Resolution January<\/a> as the month unfolds.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy Resolution January, and I\u2019ll see you all in the new year!<\/p>\n
