If you hate running, do not resolve to run. If you hated pizza, would you resolve to eat it? Ok, bad example everyone loves pizza… If you hated broccoli, should you resolve to eat it? NO. This should go without saying, but people do it all the time. Also, PLEASE remember guys, a resolution does NOT need to be body or health-related! And it shouldn’t be something you hate. I like to set goals for myself, and honestly, a resolution is just a positive goal to change your life for the better. I feel like it may come as a surprise to some of you that I am a fan of resolutions, but I am. And I actually achieved (or am still working on) my 1 and 5 year ones! My lululemon goals from 2015! I found them in my email. Anything to keep it in the forefront of your mind and keep yourself accountable. Maybe you don’t have to go that far, but it’s not a bad idea to write it down and stick it on your bathroom mirror, or on your desktop at work on a post-it. They also say to write them down and post them on the wall of your job. The four things they tell you before you brainstorm and write your goals are: make them concrete and measurable, start big, and then break it down to make the short-term ones attainable, make them positive, and begin making changes immediately. Your goals are literally on display! And secondly, they really do not want you to fail because then everyone will know. What does this have to do with resolutions? Well for one, there is accountability. It’s true, ask in any lululemon where they are, and they are happy to show you. Anyway, the goals of the employees are actually posted in the store on display for customers. I will post about my experience working there another time. When I worked at lululemon, we did a lot of work in our orientation and training on goal-setting. So in my very humble opinion, what is the right method, if I am so sure that this is the wrong method? The right way is to not set yourself up to fail. Also, TBH I love when the gym is full for a few weeks, it makes my Spin classes completely full and a lot more fun! But do I love showing people how to set up their bikes knowing that they will not get on one 48 weeks of the year? Not as much. But the reason I mock them is not because I think what they are doing is wrong, I just think they are using the wrong method. I am generally pretty sarcastic about these people who make and fail at resolutions time and time again. You’ve all probably heard the phrase “diet starts on Monday!” Well a resolution is just a yearly “diet starts on Monday” with a more memorable date, because it’s literally the first day. I understand wanting to better yourself, and trying to set a benchmark and a starting point. And then it will empty out again.īut to be perfectly honest, I don’t hate resolutions OR “resolutioners,” as I call the 3-week gym goers. And nothing says January 1 st like a resolution that will fail by February 1 st, amirite? As a fitness instructor of 11 years, I can tell you for a fact that the gym is about to be PACKED for 3 shorts weeks. Christmas is behind us, which means New Year’s Day is upon us. ![]()
