Get this year's Resolutions Set in Stone!

Are you a resolution fanatic?  Do you have a list that you are absolutely determined to stick to in 2020?  Are you sick of failing? 

It's all too easy to make New Year’s resolutions but as we all know, sticking to them is a lot harder.

Did you know that the top six most popular changes people usually want to make are:

1) exercise more

2) lose weight

3) get organised

4) learn a new skill or hobby

5) drink less alcohol

6) spend more time with people they love

Easy to say – harder to actually do when real life gets involved and the days merge into one.

But we have good news - an American psychoanalyst has come up with five easy tips to help you keep your resolutions in 2020.  Here's how you can get it right:

1) Own up – Identify the areas where your life really needs changing and be honest with yourself.

Write it down – Write down your goals and create an action plan with realistic, time-scaled steps you can work to. There’s loads of information around this on the internet.

Find out why?  - Start a journal on why you do the things you want to change. Why do you overeat? Drink too much? Avoid the gym like it’s been overtaken by a swarm of angry wasps? This will help you understand your triggers and motivations.

Reward yourself - Lost five pounds of weight in a month?  Then treat yourself (maybe not to a family-sized pizza though ha ha). Incentives keep us going so it is important to acknowledge the wins.

Find someone to be accountable to – This is perhaps the most powerful tip. When you tell someone what you are trying to change it helps keep you on track and be accountable for your actions. If you are feeling really determined, share your resolutions on social media.

And while we can’t help you change what you eat, drink or do, we can assist you with another popular resolution. We can help you move home successfully in 2020!

Next year will be a busy year for the property market in Banstead and Epsom.  Buyer confidence is bouncing back and getting your home up for sale in January means you will be under offer long before the crowd that will follow in the spring months, giving you a headstart on your search for your next home.

So if one of your resolutions for 2020 is moving home and you need some planning help or even an accountability partner - let us be it - give us a call on 01737 887 674 to book your appointment today.

Whatever your resolutions for 2020 are go for it and good luck!

All of us at Sacha Scott would like to wish you a Happy New Year!  May the next decade bring you all you wish for.
