Happy New Year friends! I’m Amie Ward, The Healthtender, here with your January Balanced Bartender Behind the Shot! Today we are talking resolutions. We see a surge of resolutions set around the New Year because it’s a notional boundary that brings with it a sense of optimism and a promise of a new version of oneself. But oftentimes these resolutions fall flat a few weeks or months down the road. This happens because we set lofty or overwhelming goals that do not align with our needs and available resources. So here are some tips to setting New Year’s Resolutions that will work for you! We’re talking S.M.A.R.T. goals!!!


Get Balanced in 2021 w/ Amie Ward

Specific

  • This is the nitty-gritty who, what, when, where, and why.
  • Some people think the most important step is simply creating and announcing the goals, but vague objectives cause psychological distress.
  • Uncertainty creates room for indifference, confusion, and distance between your goals and your aspirations—so be clear and concise.

Measurable

  • How will you be following your goals?
  • Determine qualitative and/or quantitative ways in which to track progress.

Attainable

  • Your goals should be ambitious without being outrageous.
  • Do you have the means, resources, skills, and support to achieve your goals?

Relevant

  • Keep your goals consistent with your overall life objectives.
  • When we lack personal connection and motivation to a goal, it becomes incredibly difficult to achieve—so do not feel pressured into setting this one type of goal because everyone else is.

Time-Based

  • When do you want to accomplish your goals?
  • Set a specific date or time frame so you can celebrate your achievements and set new goals if applicable.

Let’s look at a really common thing I see this time of year: “I’m going to stop being lazy and get in shape.” Woof! Not only is that super ambiguous, but it’s framed in negative self-talk, making it infinitely more difficult to see a path to success. Let’s reframe that into a positive S.M.A.R.T. goal!

How about, “I am going to incorporate low impact, at-home, bodyweight workouts into my very busy schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays each week so I can increase my strength, improve my performance behind the bar, and feel less pain off bar. These workouts will be 30 minutes long, occur before my shifts begin, and will be added to my phone’s calendar as a recurring event so I can be held accountable. If I miss a scheduled day, I will make it up in the same week unless I am ill. I will follow free workouts on YouTube if I do not have a specific workout in mind, and I will evaluate after 3 months to determine if I want to increase my time, add additional days, or vary up my routine.” See! Much better!

Thanks for tuning in! If you are looking for additional ways to get moving, Jägermeister and The Healthtender have teamed up to present monthly movement challenges on Instagram! Kicking it off this month, we have the New Rear, New You Squat Challenge! Complete 25 squats, take a time-lapse video or a sweaty post-squat pic, and tag @thehealthtender, @jagermeisterUSA, and use #jmbalancedbartender. Head on over to my Instagram, @thehealthtender, for more details.

Stay balanced my friends!
