Now that you've decided what to aim for with your New Year wellness, and you're crystal clear on what you're going to achieve in 2014, the simplest way to succeed is to focus your mind regularly on the positive results that will soon be yours.
Whether you're looking to lose weight, tone up, get fitter, experience better energy or improve your work-life balance; regularly visualising success and having achieved the results you want will be the most motivating way to stay on track.
So avoid thinking too much about each individual exercise session, healthy snack, early night or change in your regular routine. Instead think consistently about where you want to get to with all of these actions and behaviours. Conduct each day with your end goals clearly in vision.
Have your plan and execute it unquestioningly. Don't deviate from what you know you need to do. Not for a moment.
If you ever do feel tempted to wander off track, simply take a moment to re-focus on your desired end results. And if you're struggling to keep sight of the great results that you could achieve, take a look at some of the comments below, all from people we've worked with over recent months. If you can stay focused on making simple improvements like these that have such a dramatic and positive impact, you'll always make the right choices.
It's simple stuff, but very effective
I’ve reviewed my diet - big success! I now eat porridge for breakfast every morning, take a lunch box of healthy snacks i.e. cucumber / tomatoes / peppers to snack on and eat a balanced healthy meal. I feel so much better for this and don't find myself being hungry all the time!! I have also cut down on my coffee intake and have a smoothie instead!
I've increased the gym and have started swimming again. I feel great.
So far I have implemented your advice and it works well, especially the 'circuit exercises' which were an eye opener for me. I am feeling good.
I can say that I have made some progress. I have snacks during a day, I am focusing on healthier dinner and I have set up some activities for the specific day within each week.
It's going well, definitely getting better with my eating and hydrating.
Not using laptop on late evenings has made a huge difference to my sleep cycle and how awake I feel in morning
I find with the increased exercise, the better sleeping and drinking more water come naturally.
I am getting the required amount of sleep probably for the first time in almost 4 years which has made a difference.
All commitments going well thanks, have shifted about 7 pounds so far!
Despite
major disruptions to my overall routine, I have tried to keep my objectives in
terms of meals and I have lost an extra 2 kgs.
I’ve been
for a few relaxing treatments, which has kept the stress levels in check.
I
am certainly getting to sleep more quickly.
I
am doing well and my exercise routine is going on the way you had advised me.
I am doing
well but not well enough. I need to re-focus my energy to commit and keep
the feeling I had from your session alive at all times.
I have decided I need a goal to work towards to increase my fitness and making time for this....so I have confirmed my place to complete a sprint triathlon July 2014 for charity of the year!
I
dug the juicer out of the back of the cupboard and have been having a veg green
juice for breakfast, I've also goneback to running (about 15 miles per week).
Since
the session, I've joined a gym and am watching what I eat.
I
was already spinning, walking and cycling regularly and as a result of the
wellbeing session I finally joined the local gym as well.
