And what’s good about having an train plan is that it’s actually an motion plan. After which a variety of our different targets kind of fall into place round this point of interest in our lives. So possibly you have already got an train plan in thoughts for January, and in that case, I need you to put in writing that down. We’ve got in Rock Your Life so many various thrilling challenges and a few of the, the names of them are actually enjoyable and inspirational.
(04:47)
So one of many sheets on this doc I’ve given you is a listing of all the completely different Rock Your Life challenges that we’ve got as of the top of 2024. And I’ve them listed in accordance with how lengthy they’re. So we’ve got challenges which can be 15 to twenty minutes, 20 to 25 minutes, 20 to half-hour, 25 to 35, 30 to 40, 45, plus all of those completely different timeframes as a result of we all know that when individuals decide to a program that’s inside the timeframe that they will attain, then they’re profitable and so they’re constant.

And I discover that typically in January what occurs is we get a bit bit overwhelmed by making an attempt to pile too many concepts on prime of ourselves and making an attempt to do an excessive amount of.
(06:36)
And this can be a factor that occurs all year long the place we kind of fall off monitor as a result of we’ve possibly overcommitted and, and we get discouraged.

(07:20)
One is consuming slowly and mindfully.

We wanna simply set her up with some easy issues that she will be able to deal with, like an train plan, one or two focuses for her wholesome consuming, how she’s gonna really feel.

(10:04)
And I like that reminder, however I additionally don’t suppose that any of us actually got down to fail , proper? We don’t imply to not have a plan, it’s simply that we don’t usually get a chance like this to sit down down and simply write down a top level view. And that’s precisely why we’re right here doing this. And I don’t need you to lose this momentum that January and the brand new 12 months actually brings.
