The start of a new year is a great time to think about what you want the next few years of your life to look like. However, simply making resolutions isn’t the way to go. If you really want a fresh start, you have to create a solid foundation for lasting change. 

And that involves being honest about what you want, and then looking at the thoughts and habits that are holding you back from transforming your life for the better. So forget resolutions, think reboot.

Resolutions are hard to stick to. Saying that you want to lose 10 kg or save $10,000 is easy, but if you don’t include a step-by-step plan for achieving those goals, and don’t understand how your current behaviours and habits are limiting you, you may feel overwhelmed and lose all motivation to see your resolutions through.

Says Dr Lim Boon Leng, a psychiatrist at Dr BL Lim Centre For Psychological Wellness at Gleneagles Medical Centre: “For lasting change to occur, you have to start small and go slow. When you start small, or break a big goal up into smaller goals, you’ll find the changes easier to implement and sustain. And when you go slow, you’re less likely to feel daunted and therefore more likely to stick to your goals.”

Once you’ve decided that this is the year you turn things around for yourself, you need to get a realistic reboot plan in order. To do this, first establish your goal, then ask yourself a few important questions to help you bring your intentions into clearer focus. Ready to start your reboot plan?
