“New Year, New You” seems to be the
theme every time January comes around.
With feelings of a fresh start, we think that this will be our
year. Gym attendance skyrockets and many
set out to make changes. Somewhere along
the way, however, whether it be months, weeks, or days into the new year,
people tend to settle back into their old routines and habits.
Changes
don’t happen overnight. It doesn’t work like
a light switch, and we shouldn’t expect it to.
Instead it’d be better to consider ourselves to be under constant
renovation. If we are not continuously
working on bettering ourselves, we become stagnant and settle for a lesser
version of ourselves than what we are capable of, and what we would like to
be. Challenges are healthy for us. Being stretched can be painful, but the
reward is great.

As a coach, I’m attending clinics
and regularly reading as much as I can, and trying to take advantage of the
knowledge of those around me so I also grow in knowledge. As an athlete, I’ve been lifting regularly
this off-season, been getting regular chiropractic care, and my goal is to get
much, much more sleep this year. My
current read is “The Power Meter Handbook” by Joe Friel. I’m learning a lot and it makes me excited
for this upcoming season!
In all the busyness that is life,
it’s easy to be complacent. It’s also
easy to make too many goals, or ones that aren’t SMART (specific, measurable,
attainable, realistic, and timely). What
are YOUR 2016 goals and how will you accomplish them?
