Sometimes we start the year with a new year’s resolution filled with stuff which at the time of writing seems exciting and attainable, but half way through January we realise nothing has really changed. Ditch those New Year’s Resolution and instead spend some time re-evaluating your life as a whole, and start finding real and meaningful reasons to change, not just because it’s a New Year and that magically inspires you with Will and determination you didn’t have the year before.
We have to set our indentation to start living our lives the best we can, being satisfied with who we are, and if we really aren’t genuinely satisfied with life as it is, we need to have a reason to change, and not because a new calendar has flipped over! So ditch the resolution, set realistic goals and start taking action each day that will help you achieve those goals.
Setting an Action Plan to lose weight and be healthier
Now that you have ditched the new years resolution, now its time to create an action plan as it will force you to think about what you need to do to achieve your goals and then to take action.
Step 1 – Write down one goal you want to achieve
For example main goal – to lose 281bs starting 1st February and finishing on 30th April 2021 so that I can be healthier and fitter.
Step 2 – Create a vison board
Create a vison board of the new you looking fitter and heathier. Your vision board can include images, words, and positive affirmations. Once you have created your Vision board, make sure you put it somewhere you can see it everyday and spend a few minutes imaging you have achieved your goal every single day.
Step 3 – Create an action plan based on your vison board – here is an example
Main goal – lose 281bs by 30th April 2021
