January 17th, 2020 — Adrian Conway
Each year millions and millions of people set resolutions, goals, intentions or whatever else you’d like to call them. Some of these goals include finances, relationships, achievements but most are based around health and fitness. And although the majority of us have great motives, inevitably 3-4 months in we are far off track and struggling to stay motivated to attain what we first set out to do.

AIM SMALL
I get a lot of push back for this one! People say, “But Adrian, shouldn’t we be aiming really high?!”. Why yes you should if you want to fail miserably and then give up before you ever really got started. See the biggest problem with aiming “high” is that people forget the very small, simple, boring, discipline based actions that must take place to get there. An example of this would be for someone hoping to lose weight, to focus on drinking 6-8 glasses of water everyday, instead of losing 50 lb. this year.
GET A COACH
Not a popular decision and this doesn’t need to be a one on one personal trainer by any means. But what I mean here is to establish some guidance. This could be as simple as signing up for something like the “Victory Club” where you get workouts each day and ebook downloads each month. But the point is to have something to “follow” so when you don’t know “what to do” there is something to fall back on and ensure you continued progress! Each year millions of people sign up for the gym and go stand there for hours not really doing much of anything simply because they really don't’ know what to do.
IT STARTS WITH FOOD
No matter what your goal is, it starts with food. So many of us want to do amazing things with our bodies or minds. We put every ounce of energy in training physically and mentally to reach our goals yet we overlook the most important and most frequent thing we do for our physical and mental health, consume food. What we fuel our bodies with become the cells that are responsible for all of our lifes processes. Yes, your food influences your sleep, mood, energy, sex drive, focus, immunity, respiration, performance, you name it food effects it. So my advice is to put a premium on eating more REAL foods in 2020. If you can hunt it, catch it, grow it, then you should be eating more of it. Different diets will work for different people but the big focus needs to be on eating whole, real foods from nature. This isn’t easy for many people and if you struggle with it then a product like our Rebalance Super greens is exactly what you are looking for. Better gut health equals better digestion and better mental clarity.

FOCUS ON PROGRESS
You will not be perfect. No matter what your goals are, you are very likely to miss some days of training or skip some “healthy” meals for convenience. The important thing is to understand this doesn’t break you, this won’t make you fail. Let it go and get back to it as quickly as you can. Don’t focus on the lack of perfection focus on the progress you make, no matter how small, and celebrate it!
HELP SOMEONE ELSE
Team work makes the dream work. Many people don’t think they have time to help someone else, but the truth is that this is what we were made to do. No charge, no alternative intentions, just service. You can find someone with similar goals to you and you can be a “team”. You can support each other by holding each other accountable, you can share with them things you learn, or exercises you heard about that you think would help them, new food recipes you’ll create with your family or for meal prep. The point is to actually take the focus off of you and help them find fulfillment just like you are looking for. You will be amazed at what this will do emotionally, mentally and even physically for you. As you seek to serve and help lead someone else you will have a new level of accountability and also motivation you’ve never had to only serve yourself. It’s not jus the right thing to do, it’s what you were designed to do contrary of what the world has lead us to believe. Supporting someone else through their goals this year is going to be the secret key to achieving all of yours.
