Welcome to 2022. Isn’t there something magical about January? The possibilities seem endless, and you have the whole year in front of you to become the person you always wanted to be. I know the jury is out on new years resolutions, but I am in the camp of LET’S DO IT! I totally can see why people are anti new years resolution… because it’s usually surrounded around making yourself a better human, which typically means you need to lose weight, or wear more sunscreen, get sleep more blah blah blah. And then the shame spiral starts. Let’s reframe our thinking. What in life isn’t working for you? What do you want to change, no shame… just gain! I think another reason why people hate new years resolutions is it just feels like they are being set up to fail. Being successful takes planning, and just saying I am going to get 8 hours of sleep every night isn’t going to get you there. Planning is key. So here is what I am doing to make my 2022 goals a reality. Step 1: Write down the goals. Here are some mine.
A very common way to plan is to use the “SMART” goals. This is an acronym for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely. Using a specific goal, lets break this down. Let’s go for the Visa bill. We start with I will pay off debt Make it Specific - I am going to reduce the balance on my visa bill Make it measurable – I am going to pay off $5000 by the end of the year Make it Attainable – I will prioritize paying off debt to buying new things Make it Realistic – I can afford $200 biweekly to pay down debt, but still pay other bills and live my life! Make it Timely - I will complete this goal by the end of the year and check in quarterly to adjust my goal if needed. There! The plan is made. If you have a planner, I will write in the dates to check in with your goals. This year I am using Passion Planner for an agenda and am loving it so far. On top of your normal agenda stuff, it also has goal setting strategies we just reviewed embedded right in the planner. The best part is they have tons of digital prints on their website for FREE!! I love when companies offer things for free! Here is the link . I am not affiliated with Passion Planner; I just think it’s a great tool if you’re an agenda lovin’ human like me. Alright so before your get your pen and paper to write down all the amazing things you’re going to achieve this year lets move a little bit. This workout is going to focus on a lot of large movements to build your confidence. I watched a ted talk how body language can shape who you are, and by making yourself “big” you can make yourself feel more confident in situations like interviews or public speaking, so let’s get to it! The Workout Posture Adjustment Deep Breaths, Arms out Shoulder Mobilization Hip openers, Hip swings Goddess Pose Sequence – Reach up, Twist, Side Bend, forward fold, bent elbows, Squat Wrist Mobility 30 sec jumping jacks, 30 sec star jumps.
