So at the very beginning of January we are all getting ready to get back into the swing of
things, and I wanted to share with you my thoughts on New Years resolutions.
It is possible that you may have set some New
Years resolutions already, and it is also very possible that you may have
broken some already! I think that New Years Resolutions, whilst a lot of people
think they are pointless, really do serve a purpose. They're a great way to
motivate yourself, and a great prompt to be inspired towards positive change.
Resolutions are a form of goal setting, and
a form of committing to something intended to support your greater good.
So this New Year what can you commit to?
Commit to positive change.
Commit to being change.
Commit to inspire change.
Commit to create change.
I am starting off this year by taking stock
of what works and what doesn’t work, and drawing my motivation from there, into
what I can create going forwards into this year and beyond. My aim is to integrate
new habits that stick, and form positive patterns that can be continued J
My resolutions fall into the areas of MOVE,
NOURISH, and FLOURISH, which are the three core areas we focus on within
optimallyou.
My MOVE goals for this year are to include
more yoga, spinning, and boxing into my weekly routine. I love the feeling and
energy you get from a spin class, with the music and the group, and I want more
of this in my life. More of what works, less of what doesn’t. Yoga is great for
me, as I tend to have a very busy mind and choose to work long days, and it helps
me to de-stress, and become more grounded and centred. I am choosing to
practice more boxing, to develop my skill level, and to learn better technique.
This works for myself on a personal level, and also allows me to better serve
my clients when I can pass on new skills within personal training sessions.
In terms of NOURISH goals, I am going to
continue with my usual morning routine of an aloe vera shot on waking, with a
warm water with lemon and ginger, and a green vibrance or maximum vibrance
green juice. I will also endeavor to prep meals at home more as I found for
2014 that I ate out most of the time (which I love as I am a very social eater – one
of the great pleasures in life I think!), and I actually really love to create
exciting meals and juices at home. I will be sharing these with you through my
blog and via the optimallyou vlog, twitter, facebook, and instagram.
The things that have come up for me to focus
on for my FLOURISH goals are the ones that are really exciting for me and I am
already feeling the benefits from them, as I started practicing them a few days
ago. I have decided to work on forgiveness for January, and I have been
developing my own practice of releasing emotions and forgiving myself when I
get caught in negative thoughts. I am going to do a vlog on this for our
optimallyou youtube channel so look out for that one. I have been combining
this forgiveness practice with some daily meditations, which I am committing to
doing at least once daily. I am also committing to reading something every day,
and writing something every day. Finally, I am committing to taking one day off
from working each week. This might not sound like a difficult resolution to
make, but when you love what you do, it is actually pretty hard! I’d like to
spend more time relaxing on my own (reading, writing, cooking, creating),
enjoying time with friends, or even just doing nothing!
So these are my commitments to positive
change for 2015.
I would love to hear yours J
