Common New Year Resolutions
Do you make them year after year?

Some of the most common new year resolutions that people make year after year have to do with health and fitness.

How many times have you made one of these top new years resolutions?

Lose weight Improve your health Get more exercise Quit smoking Eat healhier

I used to make New Year's eve resolutions, proclaiming with great intensity that THIS year, I'd lose weight and get healthier come hell or high water! I'd grit my teeth with determination and swear that I'd exercise intensely EVERY DAY and only have salad and water!

And then I'd exert a tremendous amount of effort towards achieving my health resolutions, burn out really fast and give up until the next new year came along...

Sound familiar? Isn't it funny how new year's resolutions generally happen that way? Eventually, I didn't even bother to make any of those kind of top new year's resolutions because I had failed so many times in achieving those goals!

Why do we make these common new year resolutions year after year? I don't believe it's for a lack of really wanting to or laziness.

Let's look at it this way. If we know how to do something effectively, then we can actually do it. When it comes to improving health and fitness, there is sooooo much unrealistic and false information that using it to try and improve our health results in failure.

So one of the most important things we need to keep a health resolution is a successful method to use in achieving our health goals!

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~Albert Einstein

For example, one of the most popular new years resolutions is "to lose weight." How many people make that resolution and then vow to get tons of exercise and eat only twigs and berries or cabbage soup? Hell, that never worked for me!

And I've never met anyone else who lost weight successfully with that method either. Millions of people still believe that losing weight is only a matter of less calories in and more calories out. Not true. If it were, we'd all be skinny right??

So it's vital to learn effective ways to improve our health instead of spinning our wheels trying to achieve a goal with an ineffective method. So you can stop kicking yourself in the head!

Once you learn how to do something successfully that will actually get results, you can make realistic plans to achieve your goals.

Learn the 3 key steps in setting health goals - or any goal for that matter.

You CAN achieve your health improvement goals , even common new year resolutions! Let's do it together.

Cheers,
