It is wonderful to make goals.
It's HOW YOU make them that counts.....
I can make plans and goals for you forever . However; the goals best made come from you and are specific. Even more specific than "I am going to loose 30 pounds."
Think about that....How general is that statement?
The minute something comes up...and life gets a bit tangled do you get stalled???
Let's evaluate what is and is not working and then come up with strategies that will work.
What is realistic and achievable in one week goals????
Homework time: On a sheet of paper write out the big goal. Then break it down by month and week. Within that week write out specifically how you plan to do it day by day. Then take it one step further: look at your potential barriers. Write them down.....then make a plan for how to deal with them. Helpful hint: Talk with me, we'll problem solve together if you get stuck.
Get it? We are breaking down seemingly insurmountable goals into smaller daily goals that are attainable and creating effective problem solving strategies within the plan.
“Goal setting has the potential to be an important facilitator of behavior change. Setting specific goals provides a potential strategy for organizing nutrition and physical activity information and skills into practical and manageable steps” (Shilts, Horowitz & Townsend, 2002).
Here is a good visual framework:
With diligence and practice you CAN begin to develop your skills in goal setting and problem solving which WILL lead to improved levels of fitness and the improved ability to be more self-reliant.
Thought: what if, as you begin to put the above steps into place you were to focus on adherence to actions/lifestyle that lead to your success rather that what the scale is saying while you develop your skill base? Would you feel more successful and accomplished?
Create your lists/plan. You can send it to me if you want or hold it and we'll talk about it when we meet.
Isn't it time in your life to FINALLY develop that skill set which will lead you towards that permanently healthier version of yourself?
Questions:
Do you tend to start and stop exercise routines?
Do you struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle?
If you have answered "YES" then coaching is in order.
