Congratulations to everyone who completed the “Alcohol-Free April” Challenge, it was a great success. And for those of you who didn’t stick with it, just TRY AGAIN. Even if you were only 80% successful, it’s still 80%. Isn’t that better than nothing?
Many people fall prey to “all or nothing” thinking, and unfortunately, that just leads to a lot of starts and stops, and a lot of inconsistent progress. They believe that they have to fix everything, like give up carbs, alcohol, sugar of any kind, and workout 7 days a week to reach their goal.
How long do you think will that last? Generally not very long. Then, as a result, the individual feels like a failure again, and their confidence drops even further. There’s nothing wrong with setting high goals and expectations, but a realistic plan of 1% better every day will get you there faster than a cold turkey kind of approach. Think of the tortoise and the hare – this is a marathon not a sprint.
Slow, steady, and consistent wins the race, every time. So if you’d like to try giving up alcohol for another month, join us again in May, or better yet, start today!
Here’s to a great May!
This is what we have planned:
Mock-tails in May – more alcohol-free recipes are coming! If you want to limit/ avoid alcohol, then you need some alternatives- these should taste great and satisfy!
Trainer’s Training continues through May– our 6 interns are killing it! If you know someone who loves fitness and wants to positively influence others in health and fitness- please recommend this internship!
Essential Oils classes – Mother’s Day is a perfect time to share these beautiful oils with your mom…. bring her to one of our classes this month!
Finally, our new book for May will be revealed next month- check out our Facebook Page for more details!
