HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 🥳
Now, I'm not usually one to make new year's resolutions; If I want to change something I will usually make the change whenever the mood strikes me. But I understand why so many people use the new year to create new goals.
The trouble is, a goal alone doesn't do much other than tell you where you want to go. I see it year after year... Eventually, you realise behaviour change is hard, motivation wanes, you let things slip, and ultimately give up before reaching your goal.
Something I learned from James Clear in his book 'Atomic habits' is that to truly form lasting habits, you need to have strategies and systems in place to implement them.
So for many, the new year is a time to join a gym and finally get in shape. You might resolve yourself to work out a couple times a week, but I would challenge you to consider:
How are you going to fit those workouts into your daily and weekly routines?
What behaviours do you need to change to accommodate this?
What behaviours do you need to maintain to reinforce this? How are you going to work out once you get to the gym?
Creating goals and habit change can be overwhelming, if you need any help or support, that's where I come in! Comment 'habits' below or drop me a DM if you want to have a chat.
