Always Welcoming
New Patients

John wants to exercise more in
2019 and has signed up for a local
gym membership. However, John
understands that he doesn't know
where to begin his exercise routine
and loses interest in a couple of weeks.

reinforce your desire to work on your goals. Celebrate when you
run 2K, squat 100 pounds, complete 10 pushups. Celebrating
and reminding yourself about your progress is key to successful
New Year's resolutions.

3. Reward yourself and share your
progress with others.

Too frequently we make resolutions but keep them to ourselves.
The fear of sharing them with your friends, family, and the larger
world and not completing them on time
frightens us. Additionally, we allow
ourselves to be intimidated by others
on social media who knock their
resolutions out of the park. To
succeed, share your dreams and
aspirations with those closest
to you, and they will keep you
on track during the year. At the
same time, celebrate even the
smallest victories during your
journey, share those victories with
the world, and you will succeed in
accomplishing your New Year's resolutions. In our situation, once John has achieved his 2K run and 100
pounds milestones, he should go out and celebrate his success
with his close group of friends at a local pub or restaurant. Next
day, back to hard work!

As a safety-net provider,
The Wright Center for
Community Health offers
comprehensive and
affordable healthcare
services for children and
adults regardless of insured
status or inability to pay.

Successfully achieving your New Year's resolutions is challenging and you should not beat yourself down if you do not
succeed. As long as you follow these tips and keep your head
up, you are a winner!
