Many people will have resolutions to do with their health. Unfortunately some of these will be the same as last years and maybe some years before that too.
The problems arise in two ways. Firstly, our beliefs. What we believe is a function of our collective past experiences. This includes both the results of our previous actions but also our observations of what other people have done. If we have tried to get fit in the past and have not then our belief system will tell us it cannot be done.
If we believe that our ideas can be brought to reality, we will set about doing them. If we believe they are not possible, then it is likely that the idea will go no further. There is a third option which sometimes is the default one where people set out to do something but deep down do not really believe they will succeed.
Many people fall into the third category as described above where they set out on an exercise program or to improve their diet, and despite good intentions deep down, they do not actually believe that they will succeed. This is usually based on past experiences.
Yet if you look around, people have done it and there are countless stories of success. This means it can be done. In turn this means that for you to succeed the first step will be a change in your beliefs and mindset.
Secondly there is a lack of a plan. The resolution to "get fit" is noble but vague. A plan to work out for 30 minutes, 4 times a week with the time and place written in your diary is specific, measurable and much more likely to be acted on.
The twin problems of beliefs and lack of a plan can be overcome. You may need to work at them, as it may be a new experience. That's fine. Nothing that is worthwhile comes without effort. Equally it is effort (note not struggle!) that brings rewards.
Another component is knowledge. What you need is a guide to better health complete with tips, simple ideas and knowledge that is easy to understand and easy to apply.
Believe that you can, have a DIY Health action plan that you follow and start now with a gift to your self - the decision to be a better you.
