Anyone else feeling somewhat overwhelmed? I find there is so much pressure in the new year to tick off all the things that I want to achieve ... get healthy and lose a bit of weight, blitz and declutter house, ramp up my business, be a better wife and mother ... the list goes on! And not surprisingly its all too much and I give up and don't achieve anything!
Well this year, I'm approaching things a bit differently... So I'm aiming for Progress and not Perfection. By chipping away at my list and looking back daily and seeing that I've actually achieved something I do feel I'm achieving something positive and I can keep going.
So for example - with getting healthy and losing weight ... I'm concentrating on making habits. My habit this week is drinking 2 litres of water a day. Im doing this by drinking one glass before I eat my meal, and one during the meal. Ive actually finished 1 litre by 10.30am! Plus by drinking water before and during the meal, it actually filled me up and I ended up not eating so much! win win .... To create a habit you need to repeat something about 30 times ... so if I do this with every meal then it should be reinforced as a habit by 10 days time ... that's actually not that far away!!!
So I'd love to know whether the above resonates with you .... How do you approach New Year?!
