Did you make a resolution for New Year this year? Did you make one last year too? Bit of a personal question, but, just how long did you stick with it? According to www.USA.gov the most popular resolutions year in and year out are to get fit, give up smoking and to reduce alcohol intake or to quit the demon booze all together. Taking this and other sources together, the top resolution for the last five years or so is to lose weight. We all have great intentions but most of these resolutions and promises we make to ourselves can be pretty short lived – some figures suggest not even until spring! So, how can we increase our chances of sticking to our New Year’s resolutions and achieving our goals?
The problem with many of these promises we make each year is, according to psychologists, that after the heady festive season trying to rein in our excesses makes us feel deprived. The key is to focus on success and rewards. It can be tough, though, trying to figure out how to reward yourself without undoing all your good work especially as most celebrations revolve around food and drink! So how about indulging yourself some other way?
Perhaps a limo tour of Washington. Go see some of the sights and the monuments erected to celebrate the lives of inspiring individuals such as Abraham Lincoln who stayed focussed and disciplined even in the face of civil war.
Make a second resolution, one that, for each thing you give up or reduce you give yourself something back. Say, yes I’m going to cut down the amount of wine I consume and I’m going to learn more about music, for example and indulge your new interest. Put away the money you save on drink or cigarettes and take in some great concerts and arrive in style – hire a limo. Make the most of the evening and take a long limo ride back home or even to a great hotel. Why not make your own holiday and make it a celebration of you?
Recognising and rewarding your achievements is so important for you in making your next goal. It gives you something to remember and a motivation to keep at it. Perhaps you have lost ten pounds or hit a personal fitness target: going out for pizza or a night on the town to celebrate may not be the most sensible option. Treat yourself, instead, to a spa break and start the treat as soon as you step out of your door and into a Limo. Be pampered and relax in luxury then, when you are ready to return home, extend that luxury from the spa to your front door by hiring a limo to bring you back. Now you can see how limousine service hire can be a stylish part of achieving your New Year’s resolution; try it out and enjoy!
