๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ‘‰ If you are joining one of the infinite January resets/diets/lifestyle changes, ask yourself this question before you start: have you set your goals so high that you will want to give up by the end of the month? A short term change can feel good for a while, but if you then return to a way of living that makes you feel unhappy or unwell then this time next year you will be back on the same cycle. Why not take a moment to review those goals and reduce your expectations to something that you know you can sustain? We often lean toward the grand and unrealistic because we want results now. But the most successful change is one you donโ€™t have to return from.

If the goals you set this year look remarkably similar to last year and the year before that, how might you lower those expectations so the new change will remain this time next year?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments.

don't make this mistake when you're working on your own happiness imagine this is you
and this is your life but like most people's lives there are problems
that can make it toxic
if a fish is living in a toxic environment eventually
he gets sick so you take her out of the dirty water and put her in a new tank for awhile
kinda like how you take a break you go on holiday for a few weeks into a new environment and it helps everything gets better
and feels great for awhile
until you return and go right back to that toxic situation again
and it doesn't matter how clean the water was on your break or how refreshed you feel
eventually
you will get sick again
if you want to thrive in the long term
you have to focus on cleaning up the environment that is affecting you every day
