It’s mid-February. How are your New Year’s resolutions coming along?

You remember, right- those goals you set just 6 short weeks ago? Come on now, you didn’t think I’d forget to check in with you, did you?

I’ll tell you how you’re doing. You are either:

1. Making progress and moving in the direction of a healthier and stronger body.
2. Falling off track half the week and not making any significant body changes either way.
3. Given up on working toward any measurable progress for 2021 since it seems to be a rerun of 2020.

Regardless of where you find yourself on that list, whether 1, 2, or 3, now is the perfect time for an accountability check. If you’ve fallen off track, you can regroup and get back at doing those little daily actions that make you stronger, leaner, and healthier.

If you’re doing well, then maybe now is the time to challenge yourself to move to the next level. Maybe it’s another pant size down or signing up for that half marathon you’ve been putting off or adding one more daily action to the list.

Monthly assessments are an important sign post on the road of success. In fact, we believe in the power of monthly check-ups so much that we implement them with every one of our clients.

What makes these folks so special?

• They're committed to the program. They know to stick with the plan even when times are tough.
• They trust getting people to help them. They know they aren't the experts in everything.
• They stay positive and proactive, even when things suck.
• They do the best they can with what they have. They don't try to be "perfect". Just as good they can be on that day.
• They keep checking in. Even if they can only spare a few seconds to touch base on their goals with themselves or with a coach, they do so.
• They forgive themselves. They treat themselves with compassion and generosity. They recognize that it's not all-or-nothing. They know that sometimes, just staying in the same place while the world is pushing them backwards is a victory.
• They treat problems as challenges to overcome and puzzles to solve, not opportunities to whine, withdraw, or curl into the fetal position. (They don't always love those problems, but they're committed to tackling them anyway.)
• They fall down and get up. They focus on their successes, as tiny and hard-won as those successes may be. They forget failures and setbacks, except to learn from them.

Ask these simple questions to assess your own progress:

What has gone well for you in the past month?

What did you do to make that happen?

What challenges did you run into?

What are some daily action steps you can take in the next 30 days to get you closer to your goal?
