Will you keep to your Resolutions in 2016?
We have moved into the New Year, which is a time of reflection and new beginnings. Many of us set ourselves resolutions in order to change something in our lives or about ourselves that we may not be comfortable with. It’s a well known fact that many New Year resolutions fall by the wayside within a relatively short space of time. We set goals that may not be realistic or are too challenging or just overwhelming. To put a positive slant on the short time that resolutions can last, here is a quote by Joey Adams: “May all your troubles last as long as your New Years Resolutions!” What if this is the year that could be different? What if you could do something today to get you closer to where you want to be tomorrow? There are mixed views on how long it takes to adopt a new habit, from 18 days to over 5 months - which can seem quite daunting. If the new habit repetition is daily, particularly in the early stages, then it tends to be adopted sooner. It is good to remember that if we do get derailed from our resolutions for a day, this needn’t be the end of our chance to change; we can always begin again. If physical pain is holding you back from exercising and leading a healthier lifestyle, or if stress and anxiety hinder you from adopting new patterns of behaviour, then Ann Rambaut, Chartered Physiotherapist, offers several treatments that can assist you with your desire to keep to your New Year resolutions. If you’d like to discuss any issues you may have, in confidence with Ann please call her on 01323 411900 or 07436 810181 Until the end of February, for new clients only, Ann is offering two treatments for £75 (a total saving of £21) (An average course of treatments is 4 or less) annrambaut.com
