I am confident that if you take ONE of these pieces of advice into action in 2023, you will see some pretty amazing success in your life. I am going to take the contrarian view here and say DON’T create New Years resolutions.
Instead, think of it this way – You are the SUM of your habits. What you are doing today will help you build into who you are becoming tomorrow. Here are 6 things that will help you gain and keep momentum in 2023:
1. The little things add up to the bigger things. The little things ARE the big things. Everything in life is cumulative
When I realized that everything in my life was cumulative, things changed dramatically. I used to think in more “all or nothing” terms, but soon realized that did not serve me very well.
As a former competitive athlete, I thought every training session had to be performed at 110% effort and if I didn’t “bring it” every session then it would be detrimental to my success. What I have learned over the past 20 years is that even when you make a small but habitual effort towards ANY goal, it will add up and stack in your favor.
This is true in fitness, in finance, in nutrition and in everything. Every small effort you make is multiplied over time. I tend to remind myself more often than not that “A 30 minute workout is still better than a zero minute workout.”
2. Look back on what’s worked in your life and do more of it.
Success leaves clues. If you haven’t gone back and reviewed your last year, or even your last quarter of the year this can be a very powerful exercise. Many times in the past, I have done something in work or in life that brought about a very powerful change. Then I stopped doing that thing that gave me success.
Crazy, I know. Why would I stop? Usually it is because of novelty. As humans, we are pre-wired to want change and I am talking about change just for change’s sake. Many people around you that are having success with nutrition and/or fat loss are successful merely because they give themselves less choice, and they eat pretty much the same thing every day.
This sounds BORING, right? Funny thing is, usually when we can give our brains less options, that is when we can have the most success. I recently bought 10 of the same exact shirt. When a co-worker asked me why I wear the same shirt everyday, I said “One less decision to make.”
3. Look back at what is not working in your life and do less of it.
This is literally the opposite of above. So many times though, we never really hit the pause button in our lives and reflect on the things that might be spiraling your health, wellness, or lifestyle out of control.
A good start here would be to just write down the top 1-3 things that are not working in your life, then offer yourself an alternative. For example, if my nutrition is not working in my life, and I have identified that I eat out for lunch every day, then I can make a goal to bring a lunch from home that I know will be healthier and more nutritious than the on-the-go alternative.
I heard a great quote the other day: “The reality that you are facing today is based on every action and decision that has come before.”
