It's now two weeks after the turn of the year. If you've set New Year's Resolutions for yourself, you might find that they are already slipping through your fingers. Bummer! Or maybe you're sticking to it which is great!
I'm not a believer in New Year's Resolutions. I love the expression, "If you could have done it by yourself, you would already be doing it."
A huge reason why New Year's Resolutions don't work is because we don't seek out the resources to change. Trainer. Therapist. Coach.
Another biggie? We set goals that aren't based on starting from where we are at. We set goals from where we wish we are at. For example, setting the goal of going to the gym 5 times a week when you aren't going at all is not realistic. Change happens gradually. Our goals should be graduated.
New Year's Resolutions can also be misguided. For example, if we lose our mojo we might think it comes from not being physically active but we might not look at why we are lacking motivation to be active. Maybe we are stuck in unhealthy relationships. Maybe we hate our job and need to address the white elephant in the room. Or maybe working out is just a bandaid and what we really to do is address thinking patterns and our unhealthy coping strategies in life. Change flows from improving self-awareness.
Anyhow, if these last two weeks have past and you're not achieving your New Year's Resolutions, maybe it's time to get help changing!
