Another year is rapidly coming to a close. As it does, I know many of you out there are making your resolutions and the biggest one is most likely (taking a shot in the dark here) to loose weight, to consistently be on a diet or exercise...am I right? Well I'm here to tell you, shift your thinking. Stop thinking about the diet, the exercise and just move, eat better and make conscious choices. Make a SMART resolution list rather than one that is so outlandish that you can't stick to it. What am I talking about? Reframe resolutions and make goals that are specific, measurable, realistic, timely (SMART). For example, I'm not going to make a resolution that is so wild that I could never obtain it but rather feel badly about failing when I can't do it.
Resolutions or Goals for 2015:
1. Cut back on spending. I have everything I need and I would like to see how much I can save by not spending so much on things (ie concerts, trips etc). Make my own free fun. The only trips I plan on taking are the ones that I have already planned and purchased.
2. Finish my 30 before 30 list
3. Visit more places within Southern California for day trips
4. Do whole 30 challenge twice because I know it works and I know I can do it
My goals for 2015 are more within my control. These are things I know I can do! Notice I'm not saying "Loose 10 lbs" why would I focus on my last 10 lbs? Also, for how many years have I been trying to loose 10 lbs? When I focus on that, I crave everything I can't have and shouldn't have. I'd much rather reframe my thinking on the positive side of things. I'd rather just try and challenge myself with the whole 30 again and see if that gets me where I want to be and that's free from sugar.
Buzzfeed has a great post about this!
