Before thinking about what you WANT to achieve NEXT year, ask yourself what you ALREADY achieved THIS year.
Before you go steaming ahead, and start planning for the new year, I want you to take some time to review how THIS year went. Ask yourself the following about this current year:
What went well?
Why did it go well?
What could you have done differently to make it even better?
What didn’t go so well?
Why didn’t it go well?
What could you have done differently?
This applies to ALL areas of your life, including your health and fitness.
What’s the purpose of doing this?
Many of us are not very good at recognising and celebrating our own achievements. We often overlook or fail to even notice our successes, deeming them as “insignificant” or “still not good enough”. That is why it’s important to cut ourselves some slack, and to be grateful and happy for the things we have done well. Even if these things seem minor, or even if you fell short of hitting a specific target you had in mind. It’ll do no good for your confidence if you are always hard on yourself!
Plus, it is useful to recognise HOW you managed to achieve what you did. This way you will have to hand proven methods of success that you can continue to apply into the new year.
However, it is also important to recognise (but not to dwell on) our shortcomings. If we can analyse what didn’t go so well this year, and identify WHY these things didn’t go well, then we can learn from our mistakes and ensure we don’t repeat these mistakes next year!

Too many people waste their potential in life… a deep topic here! Clearly this dieting is taking it’s toll right now haha! It’s true though. It absolutely kills me how many people I see waste their potential. This isn’t limited to fitness! People’s fear of failure paralyses them in all areas of their life! They are scared to even try something in case they don’t succeed. Successful people are often idealised for their achievements. But what you don’t hear about is how many times they had to keep trying and failing in order to succeed! There are no larger restraints on our potential than those we place on ourselves! Be amazing. Be awesome! Get in the game. Have a go at least. And if you get knocked down, learn ...
“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before. If you are dieting and exercising, but you are not seeing progress, then a common self-diagnosis is that your body has gone into “starvation mode”. In this post I am going to reassure you that this is simply not the case! Read on! Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine.
