Oh 2018. A brand new year is upon us. New years day and the whole new year laying like a blank slate before us, fills us with the promise of what can be. If you can dream it, you believe it can become a reality.
But let's be honest, looking back, how many of your new years resolutions have you actually stuck to long term? The twenty pounds you swore you would finally lose? The promise to take up running and stick to it at least three times a week? To train for and complete your first triathlon? To start eating healthy by figuring out what a proper portion size actually is? To commit to a strength training plan to deal with your back pain? All of these are achievable and realistic goals for most people, but in order to make these happen in real life you need to plan for it.
In my career as a personal trainer, I’ve seen many resolutions fail and succeed. What made the difference in success and failure, was always the same key features:
1. They picked realistic and meaningful goals for themselves, personally
2. They laid out a SMART plan (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely)
3. They hired a coach/trainer to help keep them accountable and on track when they began to falter
These three acknowledgements were always present when a resolution stuck through the end of the year and beyond, to forming true long term goals.
What are your new years resolutions? I would love to hear your hopes for the new year, but more importantly I would love to meet with you to lay out a solid plan to make your resolution a reality.
