Thinking about starting a new fitness program in the New Year?
Before you start, there's something really important to think about.
It's not just about exercising or eating right.
It's about understanding why we do things.
Why do so many New Year's resolutions fail?
It's often because we don't look at the reasons behind our actions.
We all tell ourselves stories about who we are and what we can do.
These stories affect how we behave.
Think about your past tries at getting fit.
Why did you start, and why did you stop?
It might be more about the reasons and stories behind your actions than the exercise itself.
For example, if you find it hard to keep up with workouts, maybe it's not about the exercise.
Maybe it's about what you believe about yourself, like your self-discipline or how you manage your time.
To really make a change that lasts, start by thinking about these stories.
What do you tell yourself about your health and fitness?
Are these thoughts helping you or not?
Once you know what these stories are, you can start to change them to help you reach your goals.
Changing what you do starts with changing your thoughts.
It's about understanding why you do or don't do things.
This New Year, try to change these thoughts to match your fitness goals.
By doing this, you're not just doing a bunch of exercises.
You're starting a journey that changes how you see fitness and how you do it.
