new year, same you

The person you are on December 31st is the same person you are on January 1st. You might have new goals you’d like to accomplish, but you are still you… and that’s a good thing!

We think being reasonable and kind to yourself is important while trying to implement change. At this time of year, we are all kind of bombarded with people/media telling us what a good body is, what we need to change, and how much hard work we need to do, and we see intense diets, workouts, and lifestyle changes being promoted.

You’re still going to have “off days” in 2021. You’re still going to love your favourite foods in 2021. You’re going to have times of both high motivation and low motivation and energy. That will always be normal. So if we’re craving change (and it’s fine if you’re not!!), how can we find that change and growth in a positive and reasonable way?
