New Year, New Approach: Making Resolutions That Last
If you want to make lifestyle changes, you have to do them in small enough bites that you can make them habitual.
The start of a new year often brings a wave of enthusiasm for self-improvement, but how many of those resolutions actually stick? In this episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle the common pitfalls of New Year's resolutions and share practical tips to help you set goals that last beyond January.
Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and former professional triathlete, and Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, draw from their extensive experience to offer a balanced perspective on goal-setting. They discuss why many resolutions fail, such as setting goals just because it's the new year rather than when you're truly ready for change. They also highlight the importance of being specific in your plans and understanding what has held you back in the past.
Consistency, rather than sheer motivation, is emphasized as the key to maintaining momentum. Erin and Michael encourage listeners to build self-worth by taking care of themselves and not relying too much on external validation. The episode also touches on the importance of spending quality time with loved ones as part of a fulfilling life. Whether you're looking to improve your diet, fitness, or overall well-being, this episode offers valuable insights to help you make meaningful and lasting changes.
So, if you're ready to break free from the cycle of failed resolutions, tune in and discover a more sustainable approach to achieving your goals.
