Shannan’s Journey

No more resolutions!

So here we are in a new year. This is the time I hear a lot of those little promises people make themselves, otherwise known as "New Year’s resolutions." Do any of these sound familiar?

“I resolve to lose twenty pounds this year!” Those would be those same twenty pounds you resolved to lose last year, right?

“I resolve to go to the gym every day!” Yeah, sure, until you realize three days later that it was an unrealistic goal, and you stop going altogether.

“I resolve to fit into my size 4 lucky jeans!” If you think it’s gonna happen this year, when it hasn’t happened the last three years running, you’re gonna need more than luck, sister… you have to put in the TIME and dedication.

As you may have guessed, I’m not such a big fan of the whole New Year’s resolutions scam. We should constantly be setting and achieving goals, no matter what day of which month it is.. but if you need it to get started, to get going then use it and “DO IT” as Nike says.

Each day should bring you that much closer to your new goal, and once you’ve accomplished that one, you move on to the next. Why limit yourself to one resolution per year?

No more resolving. Instead, make a strategy for building that kick-ass body, and start implementing it today.
