\u201cPeople often say motivation doesn\u2019t last. Well, neither does bathing \u2013 that\u2019s why we recommend it daily.\u201d This popular Zig Ziglar quote holds especially true this time of year when the\u00a0New Year\u2019s resolution \u201choneymoon period\u201d\u00a0is starting to wear off. If your family\u2019s motivation is starting to taper, you\u2019re not alone. An article in the Wall Street Journal, featured earlier this year, shared that check-ins on Facebook to facilities with \u201cgym\u201d or \u201cfitness\u201d in the name drop 10% in the spring. The good news is there are certain truths you can keep in mind to help keep your family\u2019s goals realistic and healthy habits going strong.<\/p>\n

Truth # 1:\u00a0<\/strong>You won\u2019t always feel like working out. The important thing is to show up and do what you can even if you\u2019re unable to give 100 percent. Any activity is better than no activity and even just gathering the family together to go for a walk or jog will help.<\/p>\n

Truth # 2:\u00a0<\/strong>Energy balance is key. Part of why some health-related New Year\u2019s Resolutions are doomed from the get-go is because we tend to demand nothing short of perfection from ourselves. If we splurge on snacks or gain weight after the weekend, we beat ourselves up and throw in the towel on our goals. One indulgence is not going to cause weight gain. Find ways to follow the 80\/20 rule of choosing healthy options 80 percent of the time and leaving 20 percent for a little wiggle room balanced out by physical activity<\/p>\n

Truth # 3:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019re in this for the long haul. In order for healthy goals to turn into habits, we have to make sure we\u2019re doing something that we enjoy and can commit to long term.<\/p>\n

Motivation, like most things in life, has its ups and downs. Just remind yourself and your family of why your goals are important for everyone\u2019s health, accept that you are human and no one is perfect, and know that every day is a fresh start.<\/p>\n
