7 walnuts a day deliver health benefits
DALLAS, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Millions make New Year's resolutions to exercise more or lose weight, but by February many of those commitments are forgotten, a U.S. psychiatrist says.
Dr. Timothy Wolff, a psychiatrist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, says people often aren't successful because they either set their goals too high or because they subconsciously can't accept change.
"Change is often difficult, due to people being unaware of how ingrained certain behaviors are," Wolff said in a statement. "In addition, people don't like looking at their negative parts. They don't want to feel badly about themselves."
To help resolutions become new habits, Wolff suggests setting small goals, finding activities you enjoy that can help in attaining these goals and communicating your objectives to others, so as to be more accountable.
"As the proverb goes: The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step," Wolff said. "So, make sure the first step is doable."
