What are your New Year goals and priorities?
This time of year is always a busy time for folks. I thought that it might be different due to the pandemic… But nope, 2020 continues to surprise me.
I’ve been coaching people since 2005, and the last two to three weeks of December, and even the first week or so of January, are a hot mess for most people, especially when it comes to fitness and wellness.
Wherever you are in your fitness journey is 100% okay. Take a deep breath and let that really soak in.
If you and your workouts are not best friends right now, or even if you are, there is something simple you can do to set you up for success in the New Year that doesn’t involve running, lifting, or holding a plank.
This is a great time to take a few minutes to think about what you want this coming year.
I’ve prepared some questions to help you get started…
A FEW MINUTES OF PLANNING FOR A LOT OF SUCCESS
Feel free to leave a comment at the end with your own questions that help get you clear and motivated!
To get the most out of this exercise, I suggest setting aside twenty minutes with a pen and paper to brainstorm and journal.
If you uncover some “Ah-Ha! Moments” or truths and want to share them with me, please do!
I do a lifestyle audit like this at least twice a year. It’s a powerful tool for getting clear, focused, and motivated for new year goals, life transitions, or even small changes you’d like to make in your life.
Enjoy!
