Have you ever set a goal to lose weight around the new year and thought “alright, this year I will lose 25 lbs. I’m gonna make it happen.”
Then life happens instead.
And the next year you’re thinking “Ok THIS is the year. I’m gonna commit. I’m gonna get a bowflex. I’m gonna workout 6 days a week.” And by Jan 17th you’re hanging laundry on that bowflex.
And you think “Ugh, this happens every time! What the hell is wrong with me?”
The answer is:
We change at the speed of safety.
[Wait, what did she say?]
We change at the speed of safety. Which means that if we change too many things at once and your brain does not feel safe, change will not take place. You’ve got to implement change in the RIGHT way.

Today we’re talking about goal setting in a way that sets you up for success, is strategically designed to help you maintain momentum, helps you feel good about your progress along the way, and actually genuinely helps you make progress towards that outcome you’re looking for.
Ready to get real about resolutions this year?
Aw, yeah! Let’s get to it!
