After looking at your habits or simply recognizing where you are in life at this very moment, are you where you want to be, doing what you want to do? If you aren’t even willing to take the time to reflect, that in itself can be very telling. If you aren’t 100% certain you are living the life being who you want to be, keep reading…
The end of a year/ beginning of a new year is an excellent time to reflect and begin to decide what you want from life. But in my opinion, what’s even better than setting a specific goal is deciding the way you want to live and the person you want to be on a daily basis.
See, let’s say you set a goal to lose 30 pounds. You have to recognize what that is going to require of you – that may mean you are going to be a person that wakes up at 5am to hit the gym four days a week, and that may mean you are a person that chooses salad over chicken parm subs at lunch.
Or let’s say you decide you want to run a marathon – that may mean you are the kind of person who doesn’t stay out late on Saturdays anymore and runs for hours on Sunday mornings.
Because when it comes down to it, you spend so little time in that very moment where you achieve your goal, but you spend all of your time in your day to day life, becoming a certain kind of person that lives a certain way. So I think it’s important for you to choose your goals wisely, and focus more on the knitty gritty of what it will take to achieve them.
Truly, what I want for my clients is for them to want to have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies, possibly to lose some fat/ build some muscle, to have a strong immune system and clean bill of health and lastly, to feel super confident and attractive. But it’s in their day to day habits.
They do formal daily workouts a few times a week by lifting weights and doing HIIT workouts. They follow their clean eating meal plan about 80% because I also want them to eat some treats they love and enjoy. They prioritize their sleep and their self care so they have the ability to take care of others. (Read that again – you MUST make yourself a priority.) They continue to strive to reach better habits in their overall lifestyle. If they veer off track and eat pizza everyday for five days or skip the gym for a week, they take responsibility, recognize that those activities don’t actually make them happy and they move on with some new knowledge and experience making them less likely to do that again.
So I urge you to take a look at what it is you are doing and how you are living and if you need help creating healthy habits and living in alignment with the person you want to be, then let me help you.
