8 Tips For Sticking To New Year’s Resolutions
We’ve all been there. Sometimes it can be SO HARD to stick to your new year’s resolutions. Setting your new year’s resolutions is one thing, but actually sticking to them is another. And unfortunately, the sticking to them part is usually where people struggle, even though its obvious that sticking to them is the most important part.
You know…it’s easy for a lot of people to make a new year’s resolution to start fresh. Right? But it’s really hard to keep it when you don’t set yourself up with the right methods. A lot of times we make it harder on ourselves, and then we feel bad when we don’t achieve it. But the truth is, it wasn’t set up for us to succeed.
Sticking to new years resolutions is what actually creates results versus just setting them and not following through. So, how you set your new year’s resolutions is SO IMPORTANT. This is something that is so much easier said than done. Trust us, we know. So, how do you set and stick to your new year’s resolutions, you ask? Don’t fret Cyster’s, we’ve got you covered. Read on for our roundup of tips for creating successful new year’s resolutions!
Set realistic goals.
This tip is all about goal setting. Tons of people come right out of the gate in the new year with huge, unattainable goals. And when they realize their goals are unachievable, they give up. The point here is, you don’t want to disappoint yourself and make yourself not motivated to continue either. So, its a good idea to set realistic goals so you can achieve your goals. And really, small steps are best.
Some realistic goals for managing PCOS symptoms might look like (and keep in mind they will differ for each person):
Now that you’ve established your new year’s resolutions, what next? Having your week or even month planned out in advance so that you can follow it takes a lot of last minute guesswork out of the decisions that you make. Like, what are you going to eat today? What time will you get your workout in today? Or, how will you prioritize self-care today? All good questions which can easily be answered and achieved with a clear plan of action. If this is something you struggle with, try our Meal Plan and Workout Course.
Find ways to motivate yourself.
We’re not even going to sugar coat it, it takes TONS of motivation to stick to your new year’s resolutions. And you need to find that motivation within yourself. You want to be motivated by internal, emotional types of things. Not just wanting to look good or feel good for whoever…like forget whoever. Think of you. Figure out what drives YOU, then use that as motivation to stick to your goals.
Prepare yourself for minor setbacks, and learn to recover from them.
Perhaps in past years you’ve had a goal and there was a setback, and then you had a hard time recovering. This is super common, but oftentimes leads people to give up on their resolutions. The thing is: everyone slips up. EVERYONE. And we don’t even like calling it a slip up because life is not perfect. Instead of allowing setbacks to indeed set you back, prepare for them. Know you will probably have 1-2 setbacks and that IT’S OKAY CYSTERS. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on keeping on.
Accept help from friends and family.
Friends and family are the perfect people to help keep you accountable for your new years resolutions. They are also some of the best people to help you achieve your new year’s resolutions. Especially if you can partner up with someone in a sort-of buddy system way to help each other remain accountable. You just don’t want to have a lack of support – you want that support because you deserve it. So, if friends and family offer their support…take it! (As long as it’s healthy help of course.) Don’t put the weight of the world all on your own shoulders – it okay to accept help from time to time!
Share your journey.
Here’s another tip on accountability. Don’t be afraid to track and share your journey with others going through the same thing. Girl, get that support any way you can. There are thousands of Cysters out there just like you who are also seeking that same support and deserve that same support. If you’re not sure where to start, consider joining our membership. Our membership includes a monthly hour-long Zoom Accountability session to identify goals, a monthly hour-long Zoom Q&A session, AND access to a supportive and engaged private Facebook group.
Reward yourself.
You’re doing something amazing sisters…you’re pushing through. So, you deserve to reward yourself. But, how do you like to reward yourself? Really, everyone is different. If you’ve been sticking to your PCOS diet, consider a treat. If you’ve been exercising day-in and day-out, consider a couple of rest days. Go out and treat yourself or stay in and binge movies – it’s up to you. Just don’t forget to take the time to reward and cherish yourself for all the hard work you’ve done.

Those who suffer with PCOS can experience ovarian cysts, weight gain, irregular periods, infertility, and a whole lot more.
But one of the most debilitating symptoms isn’t one often regarded as serious or severe: chronic fatigue.

PCOS directly affects your energy, but how? Today, we’re discussing all things fatigue. You’ll learn where the low energy comes from and how to relieve the symptoms. Let’s get into it!

Whenever we open social media or a magazine, we’re bombarded with altered images of perfection. This unattainable image can be particularly disheartening for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
PCOS causes a hormonal imbalance that affects the body in a number of ways. High levels of androgens (otherwise known as ‘male’ hormones) lead to a host of symptoms, including insulin resistance and weight gain. Excess androgens also cause increased sebum production, leading to acne and oily skin. The best PCOS skincare tips + products for healthy glowing skin!
When treating PCOS acne, masking the symptoms with traditional acne treatments may not be the answer. Acne is an outward manifestation of inflammation in the body combined with elevated levels of androgens, such as high testosterone levels.
To treat and reverse acne caused by PCOS, we need to understand the root issue that sparks a flare-up.
It’s not about understanding your ‘skin type’, washing your face more, or buying expensive creams to reverse your symptoms. It’s about supporting your hormonal imbalances and making healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes. After all, healthy skin starts from within.
Check out this episode where I talk about my top PCOS-friendly skincare tips to calm your breakouts and have a healthy glowing skin!
