Resolutions Don’t Work

Unless you do. 

This is a mindset some of you might resonate with and this might be one that is new to some you. The New Year can be a potent time to reset and renew your spirit towards what you really want your life to feel like.

There’s something about days passing by and going through the motions of the day-to-day as the year goes on that doesn’t easily give you the opportunity to instill the starting over that a new year does. 

Your habits are a direct reflection of your beliefs and your beliefs can be changed through your thoughts. So if changing a habit (like getting back into a steady exercise routine) or adopting a new one (like meal prepping) can be affected by what you think about yourself then you have direct control over making the habit a reality. 

You have to dig into why you let yourself off the hook time and time again. You have to look at your thought patterns when you’re presented with an opportunity to change your behavior.

This is called an interruption; when you realize in your mind first that you have a choice to fall back into what’s comfortable or press forward with a new action.

The next piece is a called a disruption; this is where you implement that new action and where your New Years resolutions will be real! This is what you build on! Changed actions over and over again is what shifts your life.

Forgiving yourself for how you’ve let your old self takeover is a big piece of this too. Your new self doesn’t do things the same as before and you must forgive yourself how it’s gone up until now. 

Be patient and remember, resolutions don’t work unless you do.
