Word of the Day: Stick with
It’s the beginning of a new year, and some of us make resolutions or promises to ourselves to improve our lives in some way.
We want to exercise more, eat healthier, or learn something new.
Of course, as the days go by, it can be difficult to stick with these goals.
Perhaps most of the people who make resolutions also break them.
So, this is where it becomes essential to stick with our resolutions.
If you can stick with your New Year’s resolutions, you can stick with anything.
Stick with is a phrasal verb that means to continue doing something even when it is hard or when you feel like giving up.
If you stick with your New Year’s resolutions, you keep working towards your goals, no matter what challenges come your way.
For example, if you decide to learn English and you practice every day, you are sticking with your plan.
To stick with your resolutions, start by making your goals simple and achievable.
As an example, if you want to exercise more, start with short activities, like a daily 10-minute walk, before taking on a bigger challenge.
Remind yourself often why you made your resolution.
When you remember your reasons, it becomes easier to stick with your plan.
You might find it helpful to have a friend support you along the way.
When you share your goals, it can be easier to stick with them because you have someone cheering you on. And if you make a mistake or miss a day, don’t give up—just stick with it and keep moving forward.
Remember, the key to success is to stick with your resolutions, especially when it feels difficult.
If you stick with your plans, you will see results over time.
So, this year, challenge yourself to stick with your resolutions to make positive changes in your life!
