Why You Should Ditch Resolutions


Celebrity Trainer Adam Rosante has some words of wisdom that I totally agree with to start 2015 off right.  He says to take that word, resolution, tie it up in a burlap sack and throw it into the river.  Resolutions are like birthday wishes – you make them and hope they magically come true. 
 
Instead of a resolution, you need what he calls “why” power.  This is your driving force and it should be linked to a massive emotion.  It’s different for everyone and can be as simple as “I want to drop jaws at my reunion”.  What’s important is that it’s going to motivate you to work because willpower isn’t always strong enough to help you make a change.  Once you’ve tapped into your “why” power, then figure out how to get there.  Set a specific goal (like losing 25 pounds), work backwards to develop a series of actionable steps and then power through each task.  When your spark fades (and it will!), remind yourself of your “why” to help keep kicking butt!
