BIG NEW YEAR ENERGY

Happy New Year!  I hope you're coming off some happy times with friends, family, good food, and a break from the daily grind.  For those of you that may not love the holidays, might feel completely stressed out by them, I hope you are now recovering!

January is a buzzy time. . . . people are inspired to get to the gym, dial in their nutrition, read all the books, and solve the world's problems.  If you're feeling that burst of motivation - then hell yea! capitalize on it and get to work.  You can accomplish a lot when fueled by new year resolution energy!

Heads up: buzz kill incoming . . . . 

Motivation alone is not enough.  Sorry to say it, but according to the research, it's true.  You actually already know this because it's happened to you a million times.  You're super motivated to start a new workout routine, nutrition plan, job, relationship - anything!  You put your best foot forward for a while and then inevitably, that motivation eventually wears off.  It's only natural.  You can't stay up that high forever. 

This is where consistency comes into play.  When our motivation wears off we have to fall back on consistency.  We need an established routine that's there for us when we don't feel like showing up.

So. . . . let's use this new year energy as fuel to form healthy habits.  Go ahead and get your workout schedule planned out and stick to it!  Create the routine while you're feeling motivated.  When the motivation leaves you, your routine will be there waiting for you.

If you can stay consistent all year long, 2024 may just be your best one yet :)
