🎆Start of a new year and cue all the fitness professionals sh*t-talking NY resolutions.
The truth is that NY resolutions are powerful, they are an indicator of what’s important to you in the moment.
The point where NYR fail is when they don’t take into account the reality of life. We set ourselves these ambitious and life-changing targets but then priorities change, our focus is needed elsewhere and momentum is lost - quickly! Because of this, it’s now standard procedure for the industry, your friends and even yourself to write NYR off completely. It’s difficult to maintain the challenge of change when you’re also dealing with the stressors of life. At MN, we provide clients with the skills to live healthier and make better nutritional choices in the midst of a normal, complicated life and real-life conditions. WE believe goal setting is the foundation to making change.
But here’s some things YOU can do for yourself without our help:
🤏🏾 Start small and scale from there. Set an almost embarrassingly easy goal… “I will walk for 10 minutes, 3 times a week”. One you’ve completed a week or two of that, add another day or add 5 minutes to each day. Build MOMENTUM
👯 Find an accountability buddy. Find someone in your circle with a similar goal and check in with each other. Plan to meet up for workouts and walks. Ask each other what you’re doing for dinner. There’s power in numbers.
🤦🏽♂️ Don’t be hard on yourself if you miss a day. Real-life is hard, sometimes things come up, sometimes we aren’t feeling ourselves - go easy on yourself. On the days where you’re struggling, DO ONE THING that you can be proud of on that day.
3️⃣ Three simple rules which will hopefully help you to navigate this weird and wonderful world we live in!
Our best advice on all of this is to seek professional guidance - that’s us by the way! IF you need or want help and support at any point this year. Just ask. ☺️
Happy New Year! 🚀🥕
