Practice Self-Love I recently came across a sticker that said, "I work out because I love my body — not because I hate it" and that resonated so much. In our diet, exercise, and perfection-seeking culture it can be easy to lose that perspective.
"For example, I do look differently than I did at the beginning of 2020, even as a health and wellness professional," says Schenone. "I know if I create a fitness goal born out of shame for the way I look — e.g. 'My loose jeans don't fit anymore; I need to lose x pounds' — I am setting myself up for failure. If I create a fitness goal that honors where I am in my health journey and focuses on what brings me joy, I am creating a goal that is sustainable, rooted in love, and results in positive benefits."
In 2021, base your fitness goals on what brings you joy and happiness, allow for wiggle room, maintain that big picture perspective, and congratulate yourself along the way.
