Is your New Year's Resolution related to your fitness goals?
Posted on January 12, 2015 by Wendy Preyssler, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.
Would a coach enable you to achieve your New Year's resolution to get fit and lose weight? What if it isn't the diet or lack of time that's the issue?
2015 has arrived. Have you made New Year’s resolutions this year? Perhaps the same resolution you’ve made year after year?
For many people, January means it’s time to get in shape or to lose the extra pounds that have crept on during the holidays (and before). Perhaps you started 2014 with great intentions, following a healthy eating plan and exercising. Somehow, with all your other priorities, your fitness goals fell to the bottom of your “to-do” list. By the end of the day, you ran out of time or energy (or both) to follow through on your exercise or dietary commitments.
You’ve no doubt succumbed to prevailing wisdom and prevalent marketing: Join a gym; Get a workout buddy; Hire a trainer; Go on a diet; Eat sensibly; Switch to smaller, more frequent meals, etc. And somehow, you still haven’t attained your fitness goals.
We all know that if we want to lose weight, all we need to do is eat less and move more. So why doesn’t that work? And how might a coach make a difference, when nothing else has?
Ontological Coaching addresses the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that get in the way of us just eating less and moving more. By identifying and shifting your beliefs and perceptions, we can get you out of your own way and into action from a more powerful place. Imagine, instead of self-sabotaging, you could be working with a coach to ensure that you’re actually achieving your fitness goals!
