New Year, New Me?
We often hear or say to ourselves, new year, new me.
While this isn't necessarily bad, it implies that our old self was not good. So instead, this year, let's focus on what we did well and what could use some alterations.
Basically, ask yourself what worked, what didn't, and the reasons behind why it did or didn't. After that, you should make your plans for the upcoming new year. Are you going to change anything, or will you keep at training or life as you know it? If you are going to keep going at it the way you were, what are you going to stay the same? What are you going to change?
These are all critical questions. For so many years, I made goals to try and change everything and remake myself, but I only focused on the negatives that needed to be changed. Now is a great chance to remind yourself that not only did you do good things this last year but that you can continue to do so in the upcoming year. It doesn't have to be all training or diet-related either. Maybe you made some positive outcomes earlier in the year by simply getting up 5 minutes earlier, or perhaps you made coupon cutting a habit and saved a lot of money. Whatever it was, celebrate your changes and your learning lessons.
