Newsweek asked diet, fitness, psychology and wellness experts for their top tips as we enter the new year.
Debbie Petitpain, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, toldone helpful approach is to start adding a new habit to a ritual that you already perform—this is known as"habit stacking."
If your routine is to pour an alcoholic drink as soon as you have finished your dinner, try heading outside and doing a brisk 10-minute walk instead, even if you have to leave the washing undone temporarily. "Your goal should focus on a behavior you can control, not an outcome you wish for. For example, instead of, 'I'll lose five pounds this month,' say, 'I'll walk for 10 minutes after work Monday through Friday.'"
"If you are going to bed later than 10:30 p.m., start shifting your bedtime by 15 minutes until you reach it. You also want to prep your body for sleep. To do this, dim your house lights around 9 p.m. This signals to your body that it's nighttime, kickstarting melatonin production and making you sleepy. As well, stop major activities around this time. If you like, do some relaxing activities, such as reading, journaling, taking a bath, or doing a meditation.
