New Year's Resolutions - Earth-types - Will I Ever Lose Weight?

Earth-types are the classic type who are striving to lose or maintain their weight.

For every type setting a goal is an emotional process, but this is particularly true for an Earth-type.

These people, just by nature of their constitution, struggle with maintaining a healthy weight. They are also the type of people who are least successful at setting goals for healthy habits and sticking to them. Why? Because they, more than any other type, want to be comfortable. Think of the Earth we live on; it doesn't change much at all. She is very consistent and resistant to change.

In order to keep a goal and achieve the desired end result, an Earth-type needs to make a deep-down emotional commitment. It may be to work with a personal trainer and nutrition coach to live a longer, more active life with grandkids. Or, it may be to consistently save in order have a downpayment for a home.

Earth-types really need to feel the pull to make changes and be more attached to the feelings they anticipate from the end-result than the comfort they prefer by doing nothing.


Feeling Balanced:

"Kick your butt into gear!"  Yup, that's your Fire-type friend speaking to you. It can be difficult to listen to the direct Fire-type, but they often have keen insight when we most need to hear it.

Follow up your butt-kicking meeting with your Fire-Type friend with a thoughtful Air-type friend. They are full of ideas of how to plan your success and are full of energy and excitement for you as well.
