The first thing I think of when it comes to the New Year, is new years resolutions. Do you? I have set them myself for years, and being a personal trainer, yoga teacher and life coach, I have worked with thousands who have done the same. The health clubs fill up, people start eating better and life is exciting and happy. But then March rolls around, spring breaks hit and most people fall flat on their faces when it comes to keeping up the energy they started out with in the NEW YEAR!
Why is this you may ask? Unrealistic goals! Not setting an intention behind WHY they want to make these changes, and not having the support and, or proper education on how to make lifelong lasting lifestyles shifts.
This is where a coach, or someone who has walked the talk comes in. There are many ways to make changes, yet to actually have these stick for the long haul is another story. What’s the answer? There are many, and I am happy to share a few with you here now!
Intention- Why are you making changes? What are the results you look to achieve as a result of these goals?
Awareness- It all starts with being mindful. Slowing down and paying attention to what you are doing in this given moment.
The Switchover- If you are letting go of a negative habit, you need to have a positive one to takes its place
Baby Steps- Start off slow, make small changes that you can realistically handle and gradually add more.
My intention last year was “Focus” and keeping that in mind in all I do, brought some amazing results, this year it is “Clarity”. There are so many options and choices out there these days, and I am choosing to be clear on how I am spending my time and energy and resources. What is your intention this year? I would love to hear it!
We are always changing, and fortunately or unfortunately it’s for the better or worse, we don’t stay the same. Why not let 2010 be the year of transformation? Are you ready? Will you invest the time and money in yourself that it takes to live a happier and healthier life? What does success look like to you? Are you ready?
