A mantra does not have to be part of religious or spiritual practice (though many religions do use them during prayer).<\/p>\n<p>Buddhists and Hindus use them in prayer, many top athletes use them in training, successful entrepreneurs have used them to inspire them to start their day, and there is no reason why you can\u2019t too!<\/p>\n<p>If you need some help picking the right mantra for you, we can help you!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Take responsibility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I understand that many people feel like making big, long lasting life changes is a very difficult thing that requires a lot of support. This year I am encouraging you to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your own path.<\/p>\n<p>It can be a tough truth to realize, but as soon as we come to terms with our own sense of autonomy and realize that only we have the power to change our own life, so many doors open up!<\/p>\n<p>If you are willing to do the work, you can enjoy the process and enjoy the outcome of taking personal responsibility for your goals -whatever they may be!<\/p>\n<p>It is WORTH IT!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You have every right to be proud of yourself, every right to strive for the happiest, most fulfilled version of you, no matter what the circumstances.\u00a0 And nobody knows what that is for you, except you!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Find a Buddy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2705\" src=\"https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/quote.gif\" alt=\"quote\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/quote.gif 800w, https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/quote-600x300.gif 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><br \/>\nOne of the best strategies I\u2019ve found that works when trying to have self-discipline is to have a \u2018buddy\u2019 or someone to talk to about your progress, an accountability partner. This person doesn\u2019t judge, hinder, or influence your progress, but simply serves as a way for you to reach your goals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By saying it out loud to someone, you turn a wish into a reality and into something that exists outside of your head. (This is also a reason why we write things down!)\u00a0 The simple act of TELLING someone about your goals can encourage you to continue at times when you\u2019re likely or tempted to quit. Imagine going back on your word to someone you love?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This step is to encourage you to tell someone close to you about what you\u2019re aiming for and let them assist you in staying on target.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Use your resources\u00a0!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What resources are available to you that you might be under-using right now?<br \/>\nDo you live close to a gym or fitness center that you could join?<br \/>\nIs a friend or family member an expert in a field you might be seeking to join? Why not ask them for their advice?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nActively seeking<\/strong> what we want is the only way to achieve it, because as harsh as it sounds the chances of somebody coming along and handing you an ideal opportunity or the perfect environment for you to manifest your goals is highly unlikely!<\/p>\n<p>Goal-setting and achieving should be considered like a marathon rather than a sprint. \u00a0\u00a0Whatever you want to call it, goals require dedication and the ongoing desire to succeed. This is why I keep restating the importance of having a <strong>clear goal. <\/strong>\u00a0When it seems like all you want to do is give up, the easier it is to recall your goal &#8211; the easier it will be to get yourself back on track.\u00a0 This is your life, after all. If something is hindering your progress towards achieving your goals, this is where we take action!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I want to draw your attention to the single most likely person who is going to stop you from achieving your goals this year.<\/p>\n<p>Guess who? It\u2019s YOU!!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s so easy to trick ourselves into believing we\u2019re doing things that will create progress, when actually we\u2019re leaning on the comfort of previous practices or habits that ultimately led us to \u2026You\u2026today.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage you all to BE AWARE and honest with yourselves about whatever area of your life you\u2019re seeking to improve.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s vital to understand that your weight loss, exercise, or fitness plan must be tailored to YOU and your lifestyle. There is no point comparing or contrasting it to anyone else\u2019s, or blindly following online advice without personalizing it to suit your needs. We are here to help you tailor<br \/>\nthat plan just for you. You don\u2019t have to do it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, no matter what New Year\u2019s Goal you\u2019re looking to achieve this year, know that you deserve to enjoy every single moment of meeting that goal.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2706\" src=\"https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolution-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"resolution\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolution-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dremmawagner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/resolution.jpg 316w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Year New You!
