Goals.. we all have them, but what happens to them?

Oftentimes we are planning to do something but it never actually happens. Why is this?

Sometimes we get side-tracked with other obligations and lose perspective on what our goal(s) were in the first place!

1.      Start by being specific with your goal. What is it you want to do? Write it down- look at it and then put it aside. Once you've had a night to sleep on it, then go back to your goal, modify it and decide if you can make it even more specific.

2.      Once you have outlined what you are going to do, it's necessary to create an action plan which you are held accountable for! Often times I hear, "I'm losing 10 pounds in one month because I need to fit into a dress and I'm going to live off of 1000 calories a day." My response- "You're Crazy!"  

It's not your goal that is the issue, it's the follow through. Like in the example above, it’s a wonderful thing to lose the weight and be healthy, but also important to do it in a healthy amount of time with a well balanced diet and exercise.



The goal sets the bar, and oftentimes people can reach it. It's what happens after the goal is met that tends to be the bigger concern.  Determine ways that work for you to reach your goal, and surround yourself with people who will support you in maintaining it and living by it!
