Reflection Time

With January now over and February well on its way to becoming a month of ‘making up for lost time’, half of us begin to become less motivated and half of us reflect on the year to come with a sense of hope…

Now is the time to really reflect on our behaviour. What happened in 2010? What went right? What went wrong? Did we manage to make any changes in January at all?

If you find that February has come around and you are still thinking about what you ‘should’ do without actually doing it, then now more than ever is the time to make that change. It’s still the start of the year and a real difference can be made.

If the idea of throwing yourself into the deep end scares you… or you can do this but you only tend to be able to do it for a few days, then just take a small step to begin with. Book a Pilates class or clean out your cupboards. You will be amazed how much of a difference this one small step can make. It will make you feel completely motivated and help lay some very important foundations when it comes to feeling like you can achieve your goals.

Behavioural changes are the most important aspect of becoming motivated – after all, as the famous saying goes… ‘People do not attract that which they want, but that which they are’.

It is only once you actually become the person you want to be… and not just try and ‘think’ or ‘will’ yourself into being a certain way, that you will be able to live the life you want.

So, if you’ve started off badly this year, make real behavioural changes and have the 2011 you deserve.
