Tis’ the season. Goals are being set. Routines are being created & habits are being formed.
This is what New Year’s Resolutions are all about. Letting go of the old and making room for the new.
Whether you want to lose 10 pounds, save more money, eat healthier, or learn a new skill, I encourage you to get in touch with your why.
Why does your goal matter to you?
Oftentimes our goals do not stick because our motivation is lacking. If you’re trying to lose 10 pounds because you want to fit in your skinny jeans, you might be motivated to go to the gym initially, but eventually that motivation is going to fade because really, your skinny jeans will always be there sitting in your closet and just aren’t going to move.you.to.action. What will move you to action is thinking about why it really matters to lose the weight in the first place. Maybe you do not feel your healthiest with those 10 extra pounds on you? Maybe you want to feel a sense of pride for accomplishing something important to you? Maybe you want to feel sexier and have more energy?
No matter what your personal goals might be, the most important thing you can do—especially before you start creating all your action steps, is to think about why it matters.
Your motivation lies there, love.
So, what is your goal for 2016? What do you want to look back on this time next year and reflect on with pride? Why does it matter that you do it? What’s the gain? And finally, what will you lose if you don’t do it?
