It’s only a few weeks into the new year and many people are already giving up their resolutions. The donuts in the break room lured your coworkers off their diets and a stressful deadline meant your friend picked up a pack of cigarettes even when they swore not to.

However, a minor setback doesn’t mean you have to give up your resolutions entirely.

There are plenty of options to help you stay on track and work toward your goals. Here are a few tools to help you succeed in 2019.

Goal-Setting Apps

There are dozens of tools on the web that can help you reach your 2019 goals. Download fitness trackers to count your steps or calorie counters so you can watch your sugar intake. If your resolution isn’t diet or exercise based, you can find apps that make you stick to your goals through daily reminders and coaching. You can also save money with financial tracking and budgeting apps. These digital tools are made to help you succeed.

Coaches

Resolution support can also come in the form of people who want to see you succeed. Most people think about personal trainers and fitness when they hear the word coach, but there are other mentorship options out there. Consider hiring a life coach to guide you through your goals or a career coach to advise you on ways to improve your resume and get a job you love. You can set up monthly or weekly sessions with these coaches depending on your needs, and they can create a plan to stick to your resolutions in 2019.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a relaxing and effective option for reaching your new year’s goals. This treatment can lower stress levels and give you a chance to practice self-care while reducing food cravings and giving you more energy. Acupuncture can help you reach health goals ranging from losing weight and decreasing stress to becoming less dependent on sugar and caffeine.

Meetup Groups

You can use the Meetup app to find groups near you (like running groups, book clubs, or support groups) or you can go online to see if these groups are active on Facebook and other local forums. You don’t have to reach your goals alone. Find other people who want the same thing and form friendships and accountability partnerships to push you through the tough times.  

Journals

Sometimes all you need to stick to your new year’s resolution is a space to share your thoughts and process. A journal can help you keep on track with almost any goal. Track your workouts in one space or write about the meals you make and how they give you more energy. Even if you just jot down a few notes, you can make a record of your efforts and support yourself along the way.  

Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions

Nobody is perfect. You are going to make mistakes and have setbacks in your new year’s resolution. However, if you try again and learn from your mistakes, you can move forward through the year stronger and smarter than you were before.
