There is a, specific achievement, a structured approach, they change as you progress and are easier to manage. When it comes to fitness and fitness new year’s resolutions, I believe that you shouldn’t make a fitness new year’s resolution you should make new year fitness goals instead. I also find that the pressure people apply to themselves when it is a fitness new year’s resolution as opposed to a goal is dramatically higher it feels more definite and serious. They believe that they are one and the same and somewhere along the way the lines have been blurred. When I look at or talk to people about their Fitness New Year’s Resolutions, the first thing I notice is that people set goals and not resolutions. It may sound counter-intuitive, but a fitness new year’s resolution may be too restrictive or your just not ready to make to one and that’s ok.ĭon’t feel obliged to make one, you don’t have to, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t! If you feel that you are not determined enough or don’t have the will and desire to follow through then maybe your resolution should be not to make resolutions or make a goal to work on and improve your will power before you try again (work on your weaknesses) It is all well and good to make a new year’s resolution but do you have the metal, and the will power to follow through and stick to it?Īre you approaching this half-arsed, because you feel obliged to or do you already know you are not going to follow through before you begin? 4) Resolutions although definite are usually vague!Ī resolution is a firm decision to do something, so if a resolution is truly something you want to set/make, then you need to make a firm decision to do it and stick to it.īut how will you know that you have been successful? Is this resolution for life? Do you believe you can do it? Do you know, truly know WHY you want to do it? What will it mean or how will it affect you if you fail? 5) Lack of Will Power! Also losing five stone is a goal, not a resolution as you can’t just decide to lose five stone it is an aim or desired result and a lot goes into achieving it. Making a new year’s resolution to lose five stone in the year is not realistic if you have failed that resolution for the previous five years. Remember a resolution is a definite decision we either do it, or we don’t, as a result, for a resolution to be successful we need to choose to do or not to do something realistic, and we can actually stick to! 2) The Novelty Quickly Wears off!Įven if we want to set a new year’s resolution and make a change, we are all hyped for it in January especially after overindulging in December and feeling out of routine and reflecting on the past year.īut as we progress through January get back to routine, back to reality and life evolves by the time February rolls around we are not half as focused or determined and by the time Valentines hits the resolution hype has died off and are priorities shift, and the novelty has well and truly has worn off 3) Unrealistic are expectations are too high! The chances are we won’t fully commit and follow-through. The problem with this is if we truly don’t want to something, especially a new years resolution, which is a definite intent. Making new years resolutions is the done thing everyone does it everyone is doing it, and therefore people feel required to do it or just feel that they should I mean it helps right? So why do new year’s resolutions fail and if they do why do so many of us still insist on making them 1) We feel obliged to – everyone is doing it!
