Hello February…
It feels like January has gone in a flash, well for me anyway, but that’s the nature of my work, everyone starts the year with great health and fitness goals. It’s been great to be so busy.
If your year hasn’t quite started as you’d have liked, don’t worry. It’s only been 4 weeks.
Goals are meant to have a timeline. Some may take months to achieve, some years.
It’s important to be realistic.
It’s the steps you take towards the goals that are more important.
You want to do a pull up? You’ll need to practice often but you’ll break that pull up into other movements.
Working on upper body, core and back strength.
You won’t try to do a pull up every time you practice, that would only defeat you.
Instead you’ll work on negatives, half reps, range of motion, shoulder blade movement etc etc. and over time, you’ll achieve that goal.
The same goes for weight loss. If you want to lose weight there are many habits you’ll need to adopt to lose the weight and keep it off, but you won’t get them all right all the time. Especially not in 4 weeks.
It takes time and patience and practice.
January is a month of settling in. You’ve set the goal, planned your intentions, you should have a clear idea of what you need to do daily and weekly.
February is a good month to focus on those actions. It’s a short month.
Choose 1 action that will take you closer to your goal and practice it as often as you need to… daily, weekly…
It can be:
💦 To drink 2 litres of water daily
🚶🏻♀️ To walk every day outdoors
🥕 To eat your 5-a-day every day
🥚 To include more protein daily
😴 to set a nightly bedtime routine and prioritise sleep
🏋🏼♀️ to begin workouts once a week or increase to 3 times a week
Choose only 1 that will have the biggest impact for you and be consistent with your efforts this month. Once you’ve mastered 1 habit you can stack another on top.
Remember, those days will pass anyway, just like January.
What’s the 1 habit you need to focus on to achieve your goal?
