An object in motion wants to stay in motion, and we face inertia in our lives, not just in physics. We often underestimate how hard change really is. So as you hit the wall and think about giving up, think back to the reason you wanted to change. You wanted to change something for a reason. You made a resolution because you wanted to change something. You’re fighting against all of that to conquer your resolution, whether it was to go to the gym, eat less sugar, stop smoking, stop drinking, meditate more, lose weight, read more books, or work on your relationship. January 1st wasn’t some magical day that erased all of your routines and your muscle memory. Your mind is used to the habits you had last year. Your body wants to live this life you’ve been living. You are not a failure unless you completely give up. You are not a failure you’re just going over some speed bumps right now. How can we change that? If you gave up, or if you’re thinking about giving up, I want to talk to you. Approximately 23 percent of people give up after just a week! Only 19 percent stick with their resolution long-term. By February 1st, the average person has moved on. Statistically, this is the time that people give up on their resolutions. If you’re one of the people who committed to a big change this year, you might be frustrated. Don’t be annoyed, the gym needs them to stay open too. If you’re like me and always at the gym, welcome the new members. Every year in January, the gyms are packed.
