New Year, New You! Sounds corny but there is no better time to look at the past year and into the new year. Looking back on 2020 and how crazy it was, it had a lot of different stressors and unique challenges to deal with. But take a second look back and see all the good that happened amongst all the chaos. What good thing happened for you in 2020? Most of us had to put life on hold and while doing so it gave us time to realize what was important in our lives – Friends and Family and it gave us time to reconnect those relationships. Life forced us to see the things we were missing and appreciate them. We can now take these lessons and bring them into 2021!
January is a great time to make the decision to dive into what we want to do differently this year. What do we want to learn? What do we want to give up/gain? What did the previous year teach us? Resolutions can be challenging as we often find them hard to stick to. Dieting is on the top of a lot of people’s lists (especially with the COVID 15!).
Why not look at why we want to lose weight instead of setting a goal to diet? Maybe it is to run with our kids or hike without falling behind the pack. Make a goal of hiking 5 miles or running 5 miles. Now look at the steps needed to achieve that! If losing some weight is one of the resolutions, then decide on one thing to change to get there! We too often set big expectations, fall short and then give up because we feel we have “failed”! If losing weight is on the top of our resolutions every year maybe this year is the year to reach out for some help, hiring a coach is one way we can make sure next year “losing weight” is not on that list! Even the best of the best has a coach to keep them on track, focused and aligned to hit their goals!
If it is hard to get motivated to go into 2021 with some clear goals and things to achieve, reach out to a personal health coach, as the door to EWYN is always open!
