Brittney Schrick Setting New Year’s resolutions is a tradition that can cause excitement and frustration. Often, our resolutions are motivating for a while, but when we don’t see results quickly or we get bored, we may give up. Making behavior change last requires thoughtful goal-setting, perseverance, and patience with yourself. Behavior change doesn’t happen all at once. It takes lots of little moments of making the new, more positive choice, and fewer moments of making the old, easier choice. In order to get your goals in shape, use the acronym SMART to help you set goals you can meet and make last a lifetime. 1 31 2020 Friday, January 31, 2020 7:27:45 AM PST Family Life Fridays afranke@uada.edu
