While there is no shortage of diet plans and exercise regimes to follow in a New Year, I believe the most important aspect to achieve any health goal is the mindset you have going into it.<br \/>\nMany wellness resolutions are created from a place of lack and restriction.<br \/>\nFor example: \u201cI am going to cut out processed foods,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going to give up soda\u201d or \u201cI am going to stop sitting all day.\u201d<br \/>\nAlthough these goals have positive intentions, the mindset behind them is not setting anyone up for success.<br \/>\nAs a health coach, I instruct clients to set wellness goals from the mindset of positivity and addition, rather than restriction and subtraction. This mindset shift is a key component of their long term success for two reasons.<br \/>\nThe first reason pertains to how we are naturally wired. As human beings, it never feels good when things are taken away or restricted, especially if those things have given you a sense of comfort or happiness in the past. For example, overeating can be a form of comfort, binge watching hours of television can provide stress relief, or grabbing that afternoon chocolate bar can promote a sense of joy during an otherwise dull or stressful day. <!--more--><br \/>\nUnderstanding that your not-so-healthy habits do in fact have positive intentions, and that restriction doesn\u2019t come naturally, makes it clear that goals like those above are not the most effective.<br \/>\nSecondly, setting goals from a place of positivity and addition allows my clients to feel inspired rather than punished by their goals. During this time of year we are bombarded with messages about how to \u201cfix\u201d ourselves, or \u201cpay penance\u201d for our health and wellness sins from the previous year.<br \/>\nThese types of messages may be an excellent marketing tool, but the truth is that improving your health is an opportunity, not a punishment! Starting a health and wellness journey should feel fun and inspiring, not dreaded and terrible.<br \/>\nIf your new year\u2019s resolution sounds like the examples above, I want to challenge you to shift your mindset. Ask yourself, \u201cWhat positive things can I add to my life that will help me reach my goals?\u201d as opposed to \u201cwhat do I need to take away in order to fix myself?\u201d<br \/>\nIf we re-think the examples above using this positive mindset, they turn into goals that are much more fun and attainable.<br \/>\nFor example: \u201cI am going to cut out junk food\u201d becomes \u201cI will start eating more whole foods.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m going to give up soda\u201d becomes \u201cI am going to drink 2 full bottles of water every day.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI am going stop sitting all day\u201d becomes \u201cI will add more activity into my day by going for an afternoon walk.\u201d<br \/>\nAt the end of the day, improving your health is all about improving your life and your overall happiness. Restriction, deprivation and punishment don\u2019t make us happy\u2014or get us the results we want\u2014but inspiration, self love, and positive additions to our lives absolutely do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Maria Savino Tis\u2019 the season for health and wellness resolutions.
