Well it's that time of year again... We are a week into January 2017 and we are SURE that some of you have already broken your New Years Resolutions. So we summed up a list of faults that most of us weak willed individuals fall into.
1.You believe that little negative voice in your head
We all have that little voice inside our head. (If you're thinking, "Do I have a little voice inside my head?"... THAT'S the voice I'm talking about). Most people believe and act on the voice that says, "I'll just skip today's workout" or "There's no way I can keep this up," and thus the downward spiral.
2.Blame circumstances, situations, or your environment for your feelings and actions.
Some common reasons why individuals break their resolutions are: "My boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife keeps so much junk food in the house," or "I'm always on the go, so I can't eat healthy," or "None of my friends want to workout with me." When you think that something outside of you can affect your behavior and feelings, you are a prisoner of those "things" and will be until those "things" change.
3.Act how you feel
Most people act how they feel, so when they don't feel like cleaning, they make up reasons why they can skip, or negotiate with themselves to make an exception. If people lose their "feeling" of motivation, they try to wait until it comes back. Oftentimes it never does.
4.Let resolutions govern you
When you allow resolutions to govern you, then you will be so focused on achieving that goal that you lose sight of other (potentially better) opportunities, and you certainly will not enjoy the process. This makes it extremely difficult to stick with it.
So now that you know what NOT to do... maybe you'll keep your New Years Resolutions next year. Just kidding... Our advice is to simply not make them. Don't say this is MY YEAR and then the next second you go and pig out on chips. Simply live every day and take your baby steps. Keep a positive outlook on life and try to simply let things go. It's not simple and everyday is a challenge, but try to have a nonchalant attitude and don't take things too seriously!
