Have you seen the trend of what is going to be IN & Out in the New Year? people are sharing what things they want to let go of from the previous year and what they want to work towards this year. It’s actually pretty interesting! What would be on your list?
Here is what I think people, including myself, should let go of this year:
1. Worrying about what other people think and comparing yourself to someone else’s journey.
2. Self doubt! We need to stop telling ourselves that we can’t accomplish something.
3. Mindless scrolling on social media/internet. Seriously, people spend too much time looking at what other people are doing.
4. Saying “yes” to too many things. Being overly busy is NOT a badge of honor.
5. Not prioritizing self-care. It’s time to stop putting our physical & mental health last.
6. Relying on fitness watches to tell you if you had a good workout. I know they are fun to have, but they are NOT accurate when it comes your how many calories burned. Don’t rely on them!
Here are a few things we should all start doing this year:
1. Prioritize strength training. Your body needs 3-4 days per week of strength training with challenging weights. It’s time to pick up something heavier than 2-3 lbs.
2. Committing to our goals. If you have goals you want to accomplish, you have to commit to them and take action.
3. Find balance in life. Enough said.
4. Be authentic! Don’t be afraid to be who you are.
5. Get your cardio in! Cardio has received a bad rap over the past year, but it is important. You don’t need to spend hours sweating, but you do need at least 90 minutes per week of cardio. Walking is my first choice!
6. Eat with intention and workout with purpose!
These lists are just a few things that I think are important. What would you add to the lists?
