Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

 

As with many things, most people like to get in the habit of doing things for a small period of time and then reverting back to their natural ways. This can be associated with health trends or any other goals that people may set as their resolution(s).

What are some typical goals?

  • get fit
  • save money
  • drink less
  • eat healthier
  • learn something new
  • and the list goes on…

Why not set some of these goals as lifelong goals that you can adapt as apart of your everyday lifestyle?

A goal that you set should be something that can be obtainable.  For example,  say that you want to lose 5 lbs.  Yes, losing 5 lbs is a great goal BUT why not also try to get in the habit of eating healthy and adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Losing 5 lbs should be a short term goals.  The long term goal is to lose 5 lbs and KEEP those 5lbs from coming back.  That will require you to create a lifestyle that will allow you to lose the weight as well as keep it off.  In the mean time you may be able to lose more than the 5lbs that you wanted to lose!

I teach my clients to look at the big picture.  Yes, small goals are great BUT what are those small goals leading to? Create big goals that you can slowly work towards.  Those big goals should allow you to create the building blocks to reach your small goals and also accomplish your main goal.

Best advice: be realistic! I feel that a lot of people want to achieve their goals in a small amount of time.  Or, they have a lot going on which allows them to easily get distracted from wanting to obtain their goals.  Yes, you can indeed lose all the weight you would like BUT the time frame is what can be a hard thing to solidify.  It may take you longer and you may lose it sooner than you anticipate.  Regardless do not get discouraged and keep your eyes set on the big picture and your main goal.  TO BECOME HEALTHY, FIT, AND HAPPY!
