Happy New Year!
So, is everyone around you hitting the gym? Going vegan? Detoxing? Making other "life changing" gestures in an effort to reach their goals in the new year?
The idea behind New Year's Resolutions is the concept of becoming a "new you" in the new year. The desire to make these drastic changes is admirable; however, experience shows that these overzealous actions wind up short-lived and the desired goals stay unfulfilled.
How can some people can actually stick to their plans to save money, lose weight, and reach their goals while most people give up before MLK weekend? Sure, there is an element of discipline involved but the secret is never in the effort.
We are wired to be creatures of habit. It's the poor habits that cause the need for change in the first place. Gaining 2 or 3 new healthy habits make a noticeable and lasting difference over time. So, pick a few things from this list and start today, even if you're reading this at the end of the day. Who says everything has to start on a Monday morning?
Here are some New Healthy Habits to get you started:
- Drink 1/2 your weight in ounces of water daily (For example, if you weigh 160lbs, try to drink 80oz of water per day = 10 cups)
- Eat green vegetables daily
- Spend time in prayer and meditation daily, focusing on your goals for the day, week, month, and year.
- Exercise (even if it's only 30 minutes - go for jog or walk outside, do an online yoga class or pick up some weights)
- Do something kind and giving daily.
- Do something you don't feel like doing everyday.
- Take one actionable step towards a specific goal and give yourself a reasonable time frame to get it done (For example, open an online savings account and transfer money into it biweekly, clean 50 items from the garage this month, start the updated resume this week, etc...)
- Replace one meal with a nutritious meal replacement shake
- Journal
- Forgive someone you haven't yet.
- Sign up for a 5K
- Sign up for our Vision Board workshop on January 27, 2018 from 11am - 1pm.
What else can you add to this list to become the "new you" in 2018?
