It is a new year so it is normal to reflect on the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Although making resolutions that are goal-oriented is admirable, keeping them is challenging. One of the most common resolutions—getting healthy—also happens to be one of the hardest to achieve. By following a few simple tips, though—and making the most of your health insurance coverage in the coming months—2019 can be the best year yet. 

3 Tips for Making the Most of 2019

1. Track Progress

The best New Year’s resolutions are specific, reasonable, and attainable. Establish check-in points. For example, commit to losing a certain number of pounds by a specified date to make it easier to track progress. Additionally, seeing and quantifying these minor improvements will motivate you to keep the transformation going.  

2. Try New Activities 

If you resolved to trim down or tone up, you will have to start a new fitness routine. However, people can often grow bored of completing the same steps day-in and day-out. Mix it up by trying some new classes or finding hiking trails you’ve never done. Furthermore, play around with your meal plan. Eating the same dishes will leave you unsatisfied and craving, which can lead to binging. Try at least one new recipe per week and let yourself have little indulgences now and again.  

3. Review Your Health Insurance Coverage

Health insurance providers know that policyholders who prioritize preventive care are less likely to require costly treatments and procedures. Therefore, most policies cover wellness exams and vaccinations at regular intervals. Review the terms of your health insurance policy, and schedule every recommended screening.
