Health is always a priority heading into a new year. For many of us, by late December, we are tired, overindulged and quite often over socialised, and we crave that need for healthy change.

We’ve all done it, we make our well-intentioned new year’s resolutions to “exercise more”, “eat healthier”, “drink more water”, “get more sleep”, to find by a few months in, we are back in our old habits.

Health is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix fad, and when it comes to creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle consistency is key. It’s the actions you take MOST of the time that creates lasting results.

But you probably know this, right?

You know eating well and moving your body is important but you’re struggling with how to make it last.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

The biggest pain point we see from our clients at Fitnessat58° is their lack of consistency, particularly when it comes to mindset. They have a desire to live a healthy lifestyle or may even have laid out achievable goals for themselves, but something is still missing. They still can’t seem to make their habits stick. They feel like they’re constantly falling off track, which leaves them feeling defeated, discouraged and lacking the motivation to start living a healthy lifestyle again.

So, what’s missing?

It’s not willpower or lack of knowledge. The missing piece to staying consistent with your healthy lifestyle is on a much deeper level.

It is your WHY.

Your “why” is the deep-rooted, emotional reason behind wanting to change. It’s the key to creating your forever wellness and creating the mindset to carry you through, aka a lasting lifestyle that makes you feel your best.

When you know your “why”, your actions have purpose. There is a strong emotional driver behind the actions you take daily, and this propels you forward. It gives you the motivation you need to make the changes and stay consistent. Without a strong why, it’s unlikely you will have the mindset to follow through with the time and effort required for successfully sustaining your goals long-term.

Until you identify your WHY, the real reason that shakes you to your core, there isn’t going to be that long-lasting consistency. So, here’s my tips to figuring out your why!

Finding YOUR ‘why’

Finding your why takes some work. But don’t shy away from it. When you dig deep, address fears, and push through the uncomfortable, that is where the magic happens.

Are you ready?!

GET COMFY

Give yourself 10-20 minutes and sit down with a pen and paper. This can help you relax and make the process feel like an act of self-care.

2. ENVISION

Take 5 minutes to sit and envision the best version of yourself. Then write it down in detail. Make it crystal-clear for yourself. Some questions to get you started are:

What is the best version of me that I want to be?
What does that person do every day?
What does that person NOT do every day?
How does that version of you feel?

3. DIG DEEP

Now it’s time to dig deep and identify your wellness why.

“As soon as you take 100% responsibility for your actions, you will be left with no excuses. It starts with you.”
