January can be a tough month for lots of reasons; here in the UK, January lies smack-bang in the middle of Winter, so the weather isn’t always what you could call pleasant, with dark mornings and early evenings delivering low daily sunlight levels and even lower average temperatures. January also comes straight after the Christmas and New Year holidays, when many people tend to overindulge or at the very least spend more time relaxing or socialising, leaving less time for exercise and sometimes taking breaks from established workout routines. The holiday period can also leave us financially short, as your basic modern Christmas can be pretty expensive, and going out and about to celebrate the New Year often isn’t cheap either.
With all this in mind, it’s easy to see why many people feel low in January, and although month one represents a convenient milestone in the calendar to kick off a list of self-improvement goals or New Year’s resolutions, it can seem far from the best month to start doing so.
Creating Good Health Habits
Fortunately, at Pulsin, we know a thing or two about forming good habits, and it’s this power you need to cultivate to succeed in hitting your goals for the New Year. The idea is not to make sweeping changes that are difficult to maintain but to start creating good habits that are hard to put off, and after some time, these new habits will just become, well, habitual. You’ll do them without thinking.
