It’s March and for a lot of people those New Year’s resolutions have come and gone – not necessarily because they have been accomplished, but, rather, we tend to lose steam or motivation.
Instead of claiming resolutions, why not set simple and, most importantly, realistic goals? By the way, goals can be set any time, not just that the beginning of the year!
Mulligan March – yes, it’s a “do-over”! Hey, if you can do it in golf, then why not also in life? The reality is we’ll have fall backs. Life will get in the way, but if we can set manageable and measurable goals, we don’t have to give up on them. Just start over or pick up and start from where you are at the moment.
Two of the most common New Year’s resolutions are to lose weight or start exercising. What does this really mean? Do you have a plan or the right tools and education to do either?
It’s easy to say you are going to do something but the “going about it” can be challenging. Many of us have tried numerous diets and workout plans, but it’s time to stop making it about a diet or “quick fix” workout plan and make it your way of life.
Stop focusing on the end result and focus on what it will mean over all. Make your lifetime goal to be the healthiest you can be. When you focus on being healthy, the rest will take care of itself. I tell my clients over and over, if “diets” worked, we would be the healthiest country on the planet.
We spend billions of dollars as a country in the diet industry and we are only getting fatter. Stop the madness and get back to the simplicity of leading a healthy lifestyle.
Work on achieving proper nutrition in conjunction with sufficient and focused “movement” – like exercise. If you don’t have the tools to do this on your own, search out a reputable nutritionist or fitness expert to help. Now, that’s a resolution!
