Here we are, approaching the middle of February, and let's be honest – how many of us have already lost sight of those health goals we set with such conviction on January 1st? (Don't worry, you're not alone in this!)
This is actually an ideal moment to revisit and refresh your health vision. Why? Because now you have real-world experience under your belt, and you can make adjustments based on what's actually working for you, not just what you thought would work.
Consider which aspects of your health routine are currently bringing you joy. Reflect on which habits have proven harder to maintain than expected. Notice how your energy levels have been affected by the changes you've made. Think about one small adjustment you could make today that would move you closer to your vision.
Remember, your health vision isn't just about numbers on a scale or minutes on a treadmill. It's about creating a sustainable lifestyle that supports your bigger life goals. Perhaps it's having the energy to play with your grandchildren, the clarity to excel in your career, or the vitality to travel around New Zealand and beyond.
The key is making your health vision specific enough to be actionable but flexible enough to evolve as you do. Think of it as a living document rather than a rigid set of rules.
As we move into the latter part of Q1, consider this your permission slip to adjust your approach. Maybe that 5 AM workout isn't realistic with your schedule, but a lunchtime walk is perfectly achievable. Perhaps meal prep Sundays aren't your thing, but keeping healthy snacks at your desk is working brilliantly.
Your health journey is uniquely yours. The best plan is the one you'll actually stick with, and now is the perfect time to fine-tune it for the long haul.
