Ending your year on purpose
New starts, new habits, new beginnings are great, don’t get me wrong they are actually great motivation to get something going.
But what if you end the year on purpose, what if you didn’t wait until Jan 1 to make choices to become your best self? It's funny because this post wasn't even planned, God showed me this ending the year on purpose through my bible plan this morning.
I can remember year after year I would start a new diet at the beginning of the year no more of this, no more of that… it would last a while then I would lose motivation and quit back to the old easy me making decisions that I didn't necessarily love about me.
It's crazy how your brain can do that you have one part that wants you to make better decisions and then a part that wants to keep you safe so it takes you down that old path that you always do. Good thing is, you can retrain the part that says this is your normal but how?
# 1 would be START TODAY not on monday not on Jan 1st but today. What is 1 small thing you can change? See thats a huge reason why resolutions do not last we try to overhaul our eating or our lives instead of making small changes that turn into big dial movers later. Take an extra 10-15 min walk every day, drink 20 more oz of water each day, eat 1 more veggie serving, add in just a little more protein… smile more, get ready in the morning feel pretty, what is your 1 thing?
# 2 actually this would probably be number 1 LOL but why do you want to do this thing above, what will it change in your life? How will it affect your family? This is something we miss in just wanting to do whatever to lose weight is the mindset part why do you even want it? This will be helpful when it gets hard. Because it will.
# 3 What obstacles might you run into when planning to be successful with your 1 thing? How can you overcome those obstacles without it turning into self sabotaging thoughts or actions? If this happens then I could do this to help myself feel successful.
How can you end your year on purpose? I would love if you shared in the comments.
I am so thankful and grateful for you all for being here!!
