ROCKLAND COUNTY TIMES: Tips on how to achieve your new year’s resolution according to an expert

 


The new year is approaching soon and with that comes new beginnings and the brand new you.

While it may be easier for some, It may be hard for others to make adjustments into their everyday lives, even the smallest of changes.

Dr. Jennifer Buchwald, a clinical psychologist at the Hudson Valley Center for Cognitive Therapy, spoke with The Rockland County Times to share her advice on how one can stick to their new year’s resolutions.

"It’s really helpful to make a specific plan for how you’re going to make the change. Write down your reasons for making the change, so you can read your list over when you’re feeling tempted to do the behavior you’re trying not to do,” she said.
