Not to nag, but how do those New Year's resolutions look right about now? Still on the docket, or nah?
Don't feel too badly. According to some reports, 80 percent of resolutions have been abandoned by the second week of February. The good news? It's not too late to regain your footing and finish the year on a positive note.
Some tips for meeting those goals:
* Cut yourself a little slack. Self-forgiveness (or grace, as some refer to it) allows you to acknowledge where you went off track and then figure out how to course-correct rather than spend all of your energy finding fault.
* Small steps. For many people, the issue was in trying to do All The Things All At Once. Instead, work on small goals that turn into habits, and keep building upon those. Look back at what you did well in January and when and where you veered off course to evaluate how the chain was broken.
* Keep moving. Above all, don't give up entirely; that would be the worst thing you can do. It may seem cliche, but in this case, it's true that something is better than nothing. A little progress still puts you ahead of where you were.
* Try a time and/or activity tracker. We often fail to recognize where our time and energy has gone. Consider a time-tracking tool like Toggl to help you get super-specific. Chances are good that you don't realize exactly how much time you spend on social media or engaging in other activities that detract from your goals.
