Resolutions

No, this is not a post about my resolutions. I don't make resolutions at the beginning of the year. I set them throughout the year, and then work on them in steps.

This is a post about your resolutions, and how to actually reach them. Many people set goals for the new year, hoping that they will reach them, and fully intending to do so. However, after a few weeks of working their hardest, they give up. Cuz it just isn't working, and they don't understand why.

I KNOW WHY.

It's super simple. The reason it doesn't work is they don't have a plan. Let me rephrase. they don't have a plan THAT WORKS. You can say you will work out 3 days a week, and eat better, etc. However, you need to lay out a master plan. Otherwise, you will get lost. A master plan is basically a road map. It helps get you where you want to go. Chalene Johnson taught me something called "reverse engineering". What that is: you choose a goal, then make a master list of everything that needs to be done, or questions you may have. Then, you sort through those items, and put each into one of 4 columns: research, first, during, and later. Research is things that will help you know how to do whatever your goal is. First is stuff to do before you start, to prepare yourself. During is steps you need to take while you reach your goal. Later is for all those little things that can wait til everything else is done.

After you do this, you work through it. You put one or two items on your daily to-do list, and you do them. simple as that. I will give you my personal example.

Clean Eating Reverse Engineering
-define clean eating
-shopping list
-read Tosca book
-tell Joel and Dad goal
-premake food
-invest in cooler
-No Junk Food!
-organize fridge
-clean out pantry
-budget for food
-buy and install shelves
-Fitbit?
-subscribe to Oxygen

(There could be way more on this list. However, this is what worked for me)
Now for the columns... which will be in list form since my diagram won't load. BOOOO!

RESEARCH
define clean eating
read Tosca, take notes

FIRST
get rid of junk food
make shopping list
buy cooler
organize fridge
organize pantry
tell my goal

DURING
premake food
pack lunches
create budget for food

LATER
FitBit
install shelves
Oxygen subscription

As you can see, some of this is already done. Super easy to do, super easy to follow. You make tiny steps, that way you can do a little at a time. I also have started reading the book, and have been taking food with me to work. I bought Oxygen for this month, once I get paid I will subscribe. We are going shopping in a few weeks to get food.

This is how you reach your dreams. If you need help, feel free to email me or join the free coaching program.

Also, I highly recommend getting Push by Chalene Johnson. It's a great book that helps you learn to set and reach goals in any aspect of your life.





Happy New Year!!!!
