Rethinking Resolutions

JANUARY 1st IS THE DAY WE TRADITIONALLY RESERVE FOR RESOLUTIONS + GOAL-SETTING: NEW JOB.  NEW BODY.  NEW RELATIONSHIP. NEW LIFE.

WE’RE INSPIRED. EXCITED. MOTIVATED.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

UNFORTUNATELY RESOLUTIONS RARELY WORK AND BY VALENTINE’S DAY A WHOPPING 80% OF US HAVE SLID BACK INTO OLD HABITS AND PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR, OUR RESOLUTIONS AND RESOLVE HAVE BECOME A THING OF THE PAST.

MANY THINGS CAN SET US OFF COURSE, BUT OFTEN IT’S BECAUSE WE SET LARGE, LOFTY GOALS WITHOUT CREATING AN ACTION PLAN TO REACH THEM.

WHETHER YOUR RESOLUTION IS TO RUN THE NYC MARATHON, LOSE 20 POUNDS, OR LAND YOUR DREAM JOB, SUCCESS LIES IN IDENTIFYING THE SMALLER, ACTIONABLE STEPS NEEDED TO GET YOU THERE.  

SMALLER, SPECIFIC GOALS PROVIDE A CLEAR ROAD MAP TO LARGER LIFE GOALS AND they AMPLIFY THE ODDS OF SUCCESS.

#THISISGROUNDED: REACH GOALS. SMALL STEPS LEAD TO BIG CHANGE. THINK small + big. CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT.

STRESS de-stresser

We’ve all been there: RACING HOME after a Long Day at work. driving kids to and from endless activities, LATE in the door. HUNGRY. TIRED. PRESSURED. Never sit down. START IN ON DINNER, grab for the junk- You’ve eaten an entire meal before dinner is even served. The number of times I’ve heard this story from a client — PRETTY MUCH every time I meet with one.

WAYS TO BREAK THE CYCLE? Shop on the weekend or online, Plan + prep ingredients ahead of time to cut time + stress. Cook simple, 5 ingredient recipes. Have healthy snacks within easy reach. Enjoy a glass of sparkling water in a beautiful glass while you cook. BREATHE - Lots of ways to make this whole scene better.

#THISISGROUNDED:  LOOK AT THE WAYS YOU OPERATE. Think ahead. Small routine shifts create room for healthier, happier habits.
