Welcome to a new chapter of your life.
This article is designed to help you create meaningful intentions, develop actionable strategies, and build sustainable habits that will transform your health and wellbeing.
Take your time with it. Find a quiet space, and give yourself the gift of intentional planning.
REFLECTION AND INTENTION SETTING
Looking back to move forward
Before we set new intentions, let's reflect on where you've been. Understanding your patterns helps you plan more effectively.
Reflecting on your relationship with your weight last year...
What worked well for me in the last year?
What didn't work, or what do I want to change?
What did I learn about myself regarding my weight and weight loss journey?
Defining the life you want to create
Close your eyes and imagine yourself in 12 months from now. You've had an amazing year. You feel energised, healthy, confident, and proud.
Describe this vision of yourself...
How do you look and feel?
What has changed this year?
What are you now able to do that you couldn't in the last 12 months?
Setting your core intention - your WHY...
Don't make "lose X kilos" your goal. Instead, focus on what you'll gain: the energy to keep up with your kids, the confidence to feel at home in your body, or the health to manage conditions like Type 2 diabetes.
The number on the scale is just a measurement—a way to track progress. But your real intention should be the why behind the weight loss, not the number itself. When your intention connects to something meaningful—not just a target weight—you're far more likely to stick with the changes needed to get you there.
What will losing weight give me that I don't have now?
How will my life actually be different?
My weight loss WHY is...
Once you have set your intentions you are ready to take the next step...see Part 2
