Let’s be honest, the majority of NYE resolutions revolve around health and fitness. Whether you want to lose weight, fit better into your clothes, gain more confidence, tone up, etc, you have to develop a plan of attack to accomplish those goals, but how do you hit your health goals during COVID-19?
With so many uncomfortable going back to big box gyms (such as LA Fitness, XSport, etc) right now because of the pandemic, you might feel that hitting your health goals during COVID-19 isn’t possible or at least you are unsure how to attain their fitness goals this upcoming year. You could build a gym at home or in your garage as some people have done. But, what if you don’t have the space or funds to do so?
Why talk about 2021 when all we want to do is get through the rest of 2020. We can wait until NYE to prep for the new year. 2020 has been a rough year for everyone so we get it; everyone wants to enjoy the festivities of the season as much as possible. It’s one of the few joys we’ve had all year and quite frankly we don’t blame anyone for wanting to savor those precious moments. The holidays mean: short work weeks, decorating the home festively, driving around neighborhoods looking at light displays, snuggling fireside with loved ones, building gingerbread houses, baking holiday cookies, drinking delectable holiday beverages, and usually spending time with family (obviously that looks a little different than years past).
You know what the holidays don’t mean? As tempting as it may be, it does NOT mean time to slack off on your goals or to wait to until NYE to set your resolutions.
Why do Many People Wait Until NYE?
So many people give up on their goals. Some as early as one month into a new year while others hold out longer for a couple more months. Either way,the closer the end of the year approaches, the less and less people stick to and reach their goals.
Do you know why? It’s because often times people either set too lofty of goals for themselves or they set a reasonable goal, but don’t break down that big goal into smaller goals throughout the year. As the end of the year nears, they realize they still have not reached their goal. They feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and usually give up. “I’ll try again next year.” It becomes a vicious cycle that repeats over and over again.
Guess what, you can break the cycle. Let’s go over about how.
