Last year in our very first episode I talked about how the first step you need to take to improve your health, wellness and fitness is to take responsibility for your life and the changes you make. Because this is the first episode of the new year, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this concept of taking responsibility because I think there are some things that I didn't make clear in that very first episode, it's time to take a better look at it.

I have very mixed feelings about New Year's Resolutions, on one hand I think it's really important because at the very least it shows a want or an intent to change. On the other hand I feel like if something is really that important, why would someone wait until January 1st to change something, if it's really that important you should start right away. Either way if you're setting a New Year's resolution or a goal of some sore it's going to be tough, because change is hard, but you can set yourself up for success by approaching it with the right frame of mind and strategies to help you achieve the outcome you're looking for.

A lot of people want to lose weight, I know this because some variation of it is the number one questions we get asked. When we do keyword research the most common questions look like this, how can I be skinnier, how can I get rid of my fat or how can I get more toned. Of course there are literally 3 billion ways to lose weight and it's no secret that we push the one small change philosophy, simply because it's a strategy that can be applied to supplement any other weight loss action plan. Today we're going to talk about one small and slightly obscure way that will help you eat less food, different food and feel more satisfied with the food you eat. Which will be a prerequisite if you're trying to lose weight, so let's get into it.

When I was a kid I had this mechano robot that I had to put together myself. There were lots of little pieces to connect to build the outside frame and you also had to build the motor and then put it all together, properly connecting the wires to the axles so they fit properly and it would run and actually drive around. I felt like I was following the instructions doing exactly what I was supposed to do, trying to put it together, but my fingers weren't nimble enough and the parts didn't fit exactly right. As I was building it there were times when I felt so frustrated that I wanted to give up. Several times I almost picked it up and threw it across the room. The point I'm trying to make is this, when you're trying to change something it's going to be hard, it's going to be challenging, and you're going to want to give up. But if you committed yourself to making one small change, just one and in that moment when you're struggling remind yourself of what your overall goal is, what the outcome is that you want and that you've committed to making this change.
