If you think about it, it’s kind of funny how most of us make the same resolutions every year. Come January 1st, we feel renewed passion for healthier eating, exercising more, and losing weight. We’re really going to do it this time! But a mere few weeks later, most of us are back to business as usual, and not making progress on those goals. So why do we do it? Are we unrealistic optimists? Do we have ADD? Are we insane? Einstein might think so.

The reality is that we’re complex people, living in a complex world. We’re busy. Life happens. Schedules get disrupted. Our energy and enthusiasm ebbs and flows. We get confused by conflicting information streaming at us from every direction. Sometimes we just want to throw our hands in the air and give up.

It’s not that we’re weak or unfocused, it’s that there’s so much taking us off track, and not enough helping us stay on track. The modern world is certainly not set up to help us stay healthy. It’s almost the exact opposite.

The likelihood of success or failure comes down to support – having someone who will keep you motivated and on track, help you overcome obstacles, remind you of your goals, and provide you with reliable information. This makes the whole process more enjoyable too – because we are social beings after all. Support can come in many ways.

• You can find a knowledgeable accountability buddy with the same goals as you like a friend or family member who also wants to live a healthier lifestyle.
• You can hire a health coach – someone with expertise in supporting clients and fast tracking their success.
• You could join an online community or program like ours. 2020 Vitality is unique because it supports you in making do-able, incremental changes every week for the whole year. So you will have that on-going support keeping you focused and on track. By the end of the year, you really will be healthier, lighter, and happier! Learn more about 2020 Vitality here.
