Making New Year's resolutions is easy but many of us struggle to stick with them. Use these tips to stay on track with healthier habits in 2022:
One way you can do this is by following the SMART model, which stands for Specific, Measurable,, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-oriented.

Specific. What do you plan to do? For example, perhaps your New Year’s resolution is to walk more to improve your heart health. But be even more specific so the plan is clear. For example, you plan to walk 20 minutes at lunchtime Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Measurable. You need to be able to measure your goals to see your progress. If you can mark it on your calendar or a chart, you can measure it at the end of the week to see how successful you were.

Attainable. Don’t make your resolution a goal that is too hard to reach. Make your goal a series of small steps so that the end goal is easier to achieve.

Realistic. Only set goals you know you will be able to achieve. Instead of beginning as a new runner (or someone who is recovering from a medical event) with a resolution of running a marathon, you may want to start with one mile and set incremental goals from there.

Time-oriented. Pick a time frame for completing your goal. It helps to have an end in sight, and preferable a relatively short one. If your New Year’s resolution is a long-term goal, are there interim goals you can establish to give you successes along the way?

Tulane Health System employees donated hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food items to Second Harvest Food Bank - Feeding South Louisiana. We used some of the cans to create a food sculpture. Gumbo isn’t just a tasty New Orleans soup; it’s essentially an edible metaphor for the people and culture of New Orleans and a perfect visual representation of this year’s Tulane Food Drive theme – A Heart of Service. Gumbo is a diverse blend that feeds many and brings warmth, flavor, and nourishment, and that is what Tulane Health System employees seek in serving our patients and community.
