How To Keep That New Year Shine All Year Long

It’s the start of a brand new year! For many people the start of a brand new year is the perfect time to set some new health and life resolutions. 

But did you know that 80% of people fail at their resolutions? Not very encouraging statistics. How does it all go so wrong?

What happens for a lot of people is that, while they have big plans, they’re not very clear on WHY they want what they say they want. At the start of the year they might be highly motivated, but as soon as that new year shine goes away they go back to the very same habits that haven’t helped them.

Here are some tips on how to get clear on your WHY and stick with your big sky vision goals.

First things first - what is your WHY? 

Take a journal and find a quiet space to answer these questions for yourself...

Why do you want what you say you want?

Do you want to get healthy so you can play more with your kids?

Do you want to shed excess weight so you can do a triathlon?

Are you finally tired of being sick and tired?

Whatever your WHY is, write it down. 

Research shows that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them.

Next, write down the grandest vision you have for your life. 

What do you want your health to be like? 

What kinds of relationships do you want to have in your life? 

What about work? 

Are there places you want to travel? 

What would your ideal day look like? 

Write it all down in as much detail as you can. 

Write it as if you’re actually telling someone about a perfect day-in-the-life of future you. 

Here’s where it gets fun! 

Every day read out loud what you wrote. Do this in the morning as a part of your morning ritual. At the end of the day, read it out loud before you go to bed. Let your mind’s eye visualize your ideal day. Our brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s happening or not happening. When you allow yourself to visualize you retraining your brain. 

Did you know elite athletes visualize their events down to the finest detail? 

If you’re looking to create more joy, abundance, success and happiness in your life do the same thing and do it daily.
