The absolut worst thing you can do for your new year’s health resolution is to set the highest expectations. If it comes from a super positive and motivated place or from a “I deserve this punishment”-place doesn’t really matter if your expectations are unrealistic. Are you someone who’s never been on that level before and KEPT it for more than 6 months? Then it probably will not happen now either, sorry to tell you 🤷♀️.
The absolut worst thing you can do for your new year’s health resolution
- Start your journey with a mindset of punishing yourself
- Tell yourself you will NEVER EVER eat this or that
- Set a plan to work out EVERY day of the week
- Change all of your meals completely
- Set a step goal of 15k/day when you barely walk 2k today
It’s with the uttermost love and care for you that I say this – LOWER THE BAR! ❤️ Take SMALL steps 🐾. It might sound boring, but this WILL get you towards your goals. I’ve been there, done that – in both the “I’M GOING ALL IN” camp and the “Doing what I can” camp. I can definitely say that the last camp has been the one getting me to a sustainable and HAPPY lifestyle! ✨
The absolut BEST thing you can do for your new year health resolution
is to take off about 80% from all the points! Take a moment to ask yourself “where am I at today?” and “what can I implement that I know will feel basically effortless?”. Set the bar low; that way you will set yourself up for success and THAT will create a snowball effect of motivation for you to keep going 🥳. Waaaaay better than the opposite!
A balanced mindset is to train for LIFE, not for the summer. That will instantly take off the time-limit pressure and instead bring a whole other level of fun to your journey! 🥰
Much love, strength & happiness,
