HELLO 2024! As the new year begins, many of us are making resolutions, particularly in the areas of health and nutrition, with the hope of starting anew. But let’s face it, how often have we made a New Year’s resolution, only to see it fall by the wayside come February?
As we step into this new year full of hope and resolutions, particularly in areas of fitness and nutrition, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the profound words of James Clear:
“Many of the best things in life grow along the way… Start hanging out with someone and love grows along the way. Start exercising and motivation grows along the way. Start writing and inspiration grows along the way. Start now and let the feeling follow.”
Reflecting on James Clear’s words
James Clear, the author of “Atomic Habits,” highlights an essential truth about life and growth. His words resonate deeply, especially when we embark on a journey of personal health and wellness. Let’s delve into how this applies to our New Year’s resolutions:
Start Small and Grow
In the realm of fitness and nutrition, the idea of starting small and growing along the way is incredibly relevant. Many of us set ambitious goals at the start of the year, often forgetting that growth and change are processes that happen gradually.
When you start exercising, you might not feel the motivation right away. But as you persist, the endorphins kick in, your body begins to feel stronger, and what started as a challenge becomes a source of joy and energy.
Similarly, if you’re altering your diet, the initial phase might be tough. However, as you continue, your palate adapts, cravings for unhealthy foods diminish, and you start to genuinely enjoy healthier choices.
Let the feeling follow
This phrase is particularly powerful. Often, we wait for the ‘right’ feeling to start – the perfect day, the perfect mood. But as Clear suggests, the action precedes the feeling. You start working out, and then you feel motivated. You start eating healthy, and then you feel energized.
Applying in your New Year Resolution
- As you set your fitness and nutrition goals for 2024, remember that the first step is often the hardest. But once you take it, the journey becomes easier.
- Embrace the process and understand that growth and change are not instantaneous. Love for healthy living, motivation to exercise, and inspiration to maintain a balanced diet will grow as you stick to your routine.
- Be patient with yourself and allow yourself the time to grow and learn along the way. Mistakes and setbacks are part of the journey.
- Seek joy in small changes and celebrate the small victories, whether it’s choosing a salad over fast food or completing a workout session. These small steps contribute to significant changes over time.
Make it happen this time round
As we embark on this new year, let’s take inspiration from James Clear’s words. Start with your resolutions, whether it’s fitness, nutrition, or any other aspect of life, and let the positive feelings and results follow. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Incorporating these reflections, we invite you to embrace your New Year resolutions with optimism and perseverance. Let’s grow together this year! 🌱🎉
