If you find yourself making the same exercise resolution year after year, you are not alone. Many do the same only to find themselves falling off the exercise wagon after just a few short weeks and this is why:
1) Motives and incentives are not clear. Often we make goals without really thinking through the reason why we want these things. Do we really want change in our life, or do we just say this because it sounds good in the moment. Real change requires work and sacrifice and if you aren't clear as to what will come of this change it will be hard to reach any goal we set for ourselves.
2) Goals are grandiose, rather than small measurable steps. Smaller steps lead to more success along the way and are more likely to keep you from quitting before seeing results.
3) Aspirations lack accountability, Goals with accountability measures build in are more likely to succeed, So instead of making a resolutions alone, get a buddy with a similar goal and keep each other accountable.
4) Lack of a plan. What is that saying? If you don't have a plan, you plan to fail. Taking the time to define actionable steps can help you get in the mindset, priorities schedules and get the help you need to succeed.
5) NO support and motivation. You don't have to go it alone, other around you want to see you succeed and often get motivated themselves to accomplish big things too. Getting the support you need will help you press through the hard times and keep going.
