When it comes to setting goals and making resolutions, the new year feels like it should be the perfect opportunity to finally make it happen. Whether you’re trying to cut down on sugar, or attempting to eat fewer midnight snacks, it can be easy to want to try when you can make a fresh start, especially after a festive month of debauchery and indulgence. But while it sounds great in theory, making a decision to pursue a goal based on just the date can be setting yourself up for failure. If you’re not ready, have a plan in place, or really want to do it, you’re likely to lose steam before you really make any progress. Sounds all too familiar? We asked Neha Sahaya, a Mumbai-based nutritionist and wellness consultant, and Mayuri Punjabi, Hong Kong-based health coach and founder of MyEurekaLife for their tricks to start making better choices now, instead of waiting.
