New Year… New You?
This is the time of year that many of us are looking to improve ourselves. We make resolutions, but they often don’t stick. Gym memberships spike in January but by February the gyms are back to the regular crowd. Wanting to improve oneself is a noble goal, but how can we stick to it?
We need more than motivation to make lasting change in our lives. And, unfortunately there is no magic wand either.
It takes work to make consistent progress on your goals, but making small changes to our daily routines can help us reach them. However, what small change is going to help someone the most can very greatly. For some making an appointment with themselves is helpful, for others making it your first must do of the day is helpful, for others sleeping in their workout clothes for that 5am spin class can make a difference by removing a barrier. All of us are different, and sometimes we need a little trial and error to find the right fit. Remember that you are only human, and give yourself grace when something doesn’t go completely according to plan. Try something new until you find the small change that can help you with that big goal.
And don’t forget that if you need help finding that small change, we are only a click away.
Happy New Year! ~Kim
