If you know me you know I'm not a big believer in the New Year's resolution.

Of course I love a good goal, but there's something about the New Year's resolution that pushes people to make grand sweeping declarations about the entirely new person they're going to suddenly be simply because the last number of the year changed. 

I'll hear things like,

"I'm not going to miss a single workout!" or "I'm not going to give into cravings anymore!" Or "I'm cutting carbs for good this time!"

But we know that's not...

Summary 

It's been exactly one month since the new year began and statistically 80% of people will bail on their resolutions in the next couple of weeks. 

But the buck stops here. We are going to reignite our motivation and keep trucking forward. We are going to be the 20%. We are going to dig deep and tap into our inner most desires and our brightest visions for our futures so we can continue making strides towards our goals even as the shininess of the new year wears off. 

But remember, it only...

Summary

We all know the new years resolution stats: 80% are ditched by February! And because of this, there's a growing skepticism around even setting a resolution. 

You also have coaches (myself included) saying we shouldn't wait for a new year to set goals and reach for the things we want in life.

While that may be true, there's an undeniable shift in the air around January 1st. There's the hope of new beginnings, an anticipation of the year to come, and a beautiful projection of what life could look like 365 days...

Summary

• The reason so many people fail to meet their resolutions isn't because they don't have the skills, or the willpower, or the motivation. It's that they approach each year the same way and expect a different result. They set the same goals with the only true plan being that they're just going to be different in the new year. Because... new year. 
• If you don't take a moment of pause to reflect on the things that worked, the things that didn't work, what needs to change, and what needs to be magnified, you're missing a...

Summary

• According to US News & World Report, the failure rate of New Year's resolutions is about 80%. Plus, majority of those who fail will have lost their resolve by mid-February!!
• Why do I think failure rates are so high? I think it breaks down to 3 problems:
  • We rely too heavily on the excitement and motivation of the new year, when really we need to focus on the discipline it's going to take to stay consistent through the ups and downs that a whole 12 months will bring. 
  • We focus on what we're going to do,...

We've all been there, right?

You get that initial spark of motivation that comes from a new year, an upcoming beach vacation, or a spark of an amazing idea.

And then you go to work on your gym habit, or you start the diet, or you start heavily researching how to launch that Etsy shop or how to publish your own book.

You're energized by your new goal and are sprinting towards the possibilities your future holds.

But then...

Oh hey holiday season, where'd you come from? Oh, out of nowhere?? Yeah... sounds about right!

Ya'll (yes, I say "ya'll")... I cannot believe we are already in November. I cannot believe we are 2 months away from 2019. And I cannot believe that between now and said new year, the average American will gain 10 freaking pounds! 

Guys... we've got to raise the bar this year. We've got to do better, we've got to be better, we've got to set a better example for the next generation. And we've got to stop normalizing the holiday weight...

When I ask my new clients, "What do you need most in order to reach your goals?" the answer almost always includes the words more motivation. 

Motivation has become the new cure-all for achievement. Want to lose weight? Get more motivation. Want to eat healthier? Find the motivation to. Want shinier hair? Slather some motivation on it.

And here's the thing, motivation is a wonderful thing to utilize when it's there. It gives us an extra pep in our step, a little wind under our wings, a little boost to our actions, and...
