Hacienda La Puente Unified's Wellness Wednesdays: Tips for Sticking to Your Goals
Dear Hacienda La Puente Unified Community,
Hacienda La Puente Unified is committed to providing robust resources and services that support all students and foster healthy and happy school communities where our students, staff, and families feel supported, respected, and valued.
With the start of a new year, Hacienda La Puente Unified is sharing tips for helping keep yourself and your loved ones on track to sticking to their goals.
The Greater Good Science Center (GGSC) outlines the best ways to stay motivated and disciplined to pursue our best intentions. Whether you are looking to start a new routine or break an old habit, here are some things you can do to ensure success:
1. Encourage Confidence – know that you are fully capable of achieving what you set your mind to and focus on building a vision of success so you can see your end goal.
2. Foster Connections – form special friendships or bonds over similar goals. Maybe offer to be a partner in action or accountability and find out what others need to feel supported.
3. Promote Self-Reflection – check in daily on your progress or reassess if your original goal is no longer serving you.
4. Be Generous with Compassion – expect setbacks and know that things will not always go according to schedule.
5. Celebrate Your Small Achievements – small actions and successes will lead to achieving your overall goal. Be patient, persistent, and celebrate everything that brings you closer to the finish line.
“Maintaining the motivation to bring change can be intimidating but there are so many incredible resources for adults and students alike,” Equity and Access, Family Engagement Director Martha Calderon said. “The new year and new resolutions create an exciting time, and we want to ensure the Hacienda La Puente Unified community is equipped to make 2025 a time of growth and success.”
