This year, I didn’t make a new years resolution – did you? If you said yes…. I don’t want to know what it is, but instead I want to know why you did it? Do you feel like your life is out of balance that you need to give yourself that oomph of motivation to get your life re-booted? I totally get it, all I see on TV and on the radio is talk about losing weight, going to the gym etc. So why wouldn’t you jump on that band wagon to also go to the gym and eat healthy? Well, the way I see it is: if you’re constantly working on yourself, and finding balance in what you eat all year round then you wouldn’t be part of the New Years craze at the gym – you’d already have the balance that you’re working towards daily.
My point here is that I’d rather see you find motivation throughout the year then to make a resolution, stick with it for a few months and then eventually let it drop off. Then you’re stuck feeling upset about how you didn’t keep your resolution.
See my point?
This January I’d like to see you start working on how you can make your lifestyle better, eating healthier altogether – not just going on a diet for 1-2 months and falling off the wagon.
Make smart, healthy decisions to keep yourself in check and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Take yoga classes, find a class at the gym that you like and can stick with, find the right practitioners you trust and can talk to.
Most importantly breathe.
Cheers to a healthy 2012!
