Why reflecting on your journey Is worth it

Try this!

Look back on the past month (or the past three to six months) to see what lessons you can learn as you head into the new year. Then come up with a plan to steer your weight-loss and wellness journey forward.

1. Explore your successes (big and small). What changes did you make? How did you make them? Which shifts happened quickly? Which took longer? What helped bring balance? How did this impact your journey? 2. Think about your challenges. What trials did you face? What goals have you not achieved yet? Where did you struggle when it came to balance? How did your hurdles impact your journey? If you’re going to keep working on the goal, what can you do differently? 3. Look ahead. What goal do you want to reach in the next month (or the next three to six)? What obstacles do you need to overcome? How will you feel when you reach the goal? 4. Move forward. What can you do this week that’s truly doable to get closer to your goal? How will you respond to any challenges? What lessons from the past can help you nail it?

Let’s dive a little deeper...

See that new year up ahead? Before you zoom off toward your weight-loss and wellness goals, consider taking a look back.

Learning from what did and didn’t go well in the past - and how you used balance to press on - can help you better navigate your journey in the future.

And, of course, don’t forget to celebrate all that you’ve already done. Even if you didn’t exactly achieve every goal on your list, recognising any progress you’ve made can boost your confidence so you go into the new year on a high note.
