Where Do You Want to Be One Year From Now?

Every January, people make the same promise to themselves

“This is my year.”

And maybe it will be!!

But most people don’t make it past February. Real Facts

Not because they don’t care.

Not because they don’t want it badly enough.

But because they set goals that sound amazing on paper..

“I’ll lose 30 pounds,”

“I’ll go to the gym every day,”

“I’ll change everything starting Monday”

without building the structure, the habits, and the mindset it actually takes to get there.

And by the time December rolls around again, they’re left wondering why they’re in the exact same place.

A year sounds like a lot of time, right?

Twelve months.

365 days.

So much room to change your life.

A year flies by.

Think back to last January.

What were your goals?

How far did you get?

A year can change everything OR it can change nothing at all.

It depends entirely on what you do with it.

I’ve learned from experience that transformation doesn’t happen overnight.

It’s built one day at a time.

One decision at a time.

When I started my own journey, I didn’t wake up one day motivated and unstoppable.

I woke up tired.

Frustrated.

Overwhelmed.

But I made a choice to start showing up anyway, no matter what!

And little by little, things began to shift.

A year later, I was living in a completely different body... but more importantly, with a completely different mindset.

Because this is what happens when you keep showing up...even when it’s uncomfortable, even when it’s inconvenient, even when no one’s watching, and ESPECIALLY when your tired.

You Have Two Options

One year from now, you’ll either look back proud of what you built…or you’ll look back wishing you had started.

You can keep following the same patterns, repeating the same habits, telling yourself the same stories; or you can finally step outside your comfort zone and do the things you know you need to do.

The uncomfortable truth? (Because you know I'm good for it)

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

The next twelve months are going to pass no matter what.

The question is: who do you want to be when they do?

Do you want to be stronger?

Healthier?

More confident?

Do you want to finally feel proud of how far you’ve come instead of frustrated by what held you back?

That version of you is waiting, but they don’t appear by accident.

It show up because you decide to.

So as this new year approaches, ask yourself honestly:

What do I really want to look back on a year from now?

Because one year from today, you’ll either be celebrating how much you’ve grown, or wondering why you didn’t start when you had the chance.

The time is going to pass anyway.

You might as well make it count.
