Seniors and Staying Motivated
Each year it's a familiar story—in January,
millions of Americans resolve to take charge of their lives and challenge
themselves to make changes to improve their lifestyle. Somehow, as the months go
by, it becomes more challenging to stay dedicated to these commitments. For
those of us who need some additional motivation, here are some tips for staying
motivated and achieving your goals:
- Stay positive. Reflect on the past
and refocus for success in the future.
- Set measureable goals and benchmarks
you will be able to reach throughout the year.
- Start small—even the tiniest
of changes will bring you closer towards your goal.
- Think about time in
little chunks. It's easy to carve out five minutes each day.
- Be proactive by
creating an action plan and sticking to it. Avoid making hasty decisions in the
last-minute.
- Be kind and compassionate—congratulate and reward yourself
when you deserve it!

A Message from Dr. Marco Dr. Noah Marco, Chief Medical Officer |
While staying motivated
and goal-driven throughout the year can be a challenging task, aspiring
individuals of all ages can greatly benefit from building a solid support
system. Surrounding yourself with friends and family who will inspire and
encourage you to keep up your commitments is essential to reaching your goals.
Try spending time with people who regularly check in with you and ask about your
progress. Just knowing someone truly cares will keep you accountable all year
long. Seniors, in particular, reap several important benefits when they connect
with others in this special way. The partnership and support of this type of
relationship enhances a senior's self-confidence, physical and mental health,
and overall quality of life.
