What’s your “WHY” for getting healthy?
If you are like most people, you have probably been thinking about your new years goals in terms your health. Before listing any actions and making unrealistic plans, I challenge you to define your “why” first and reflect on the story you want to create for your vision of life.
Whatever triggered your decision, spending some time with your “why” is essential for strategizing how to stay motivated to lose weight or pursuing any health goal.
Once you’ve found your “why” for living a healthier life, take the time to internalize it by writing down all your reasons, from the obvious to the not-so-obvious, and read them daily.
Imagine the healthiest 90-year-old you can be. What will it look like?
Ask yourself,
How will my life be different on a daily, yearly, and long-term basis if I integrate healthier habits?
How much more will I accomplish?
How much money will I save on doctor visits and medications?
How much better will I feel physically and emotionally?
What will bring me joy?
One huge benefit of longevity and creating a healthier body to live in is that you’ll reduce your chances of developing metabolic and chronic syndromes. As Dr. Mark Hyman says, “The point is not to live longer but to live better, not just to add more years to your life but to add more life to your years”.
Diving into future-focused questions is one of the first things we do in all of our coaching programs. After taking a big picture view to your Wheel of Life, we find that ultimate goal that you want to walk towards and understand why is it important for you to put it in place.
