Each day is the RIGHT day...

I had lunch with a friend this week. She told me she was feeling bloated, overweight + downright blah. She was upset with herself because, like so many of us, she made a New Year’s resolution to shed weight and get fit. But just 5 weeks into the New Year, she was already off track and feeling like a failure.

She went on to explain she was trying to identify another auspicious day to begin working towards her New Year’s Resolution.

This got me thinking about all the ways we roadblock our own path to success and the life we desire. Every moment of every day, we have the opportunity to set our intention and move towards the life we want. Be the person we want to be. Waiting for the “right day“ to begin our journey leaves us feeling: Stuck. Unfulfilled. Unhappy. Disconnected.

Every day you get to choose how you want to live and be in this world. Every moment provides space to re-set intentions and actions.

What are you waiting for?

#THISISGROUNDED: Every moment is a gift. Everyday is an invitation to step forward. Do better. Be more. Live more. 

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.
