Do you have a goal to ‘be more healthy’ in 2019? Let’s take 5 minutes, refine the goal and guarantee you’re NOT part of the 92% that fail at it before February 1st.

My best friend Becky and I have the BEST New Year’s Eve Ritual. We grab dinner, discuss the year prior and uncover our dreams with this quick exercise:

GOAL EXPANSION EXERCISE:

1)Set a timer for 5 minutes and fill an entire sheet of paper with EVERYTHING you want to do in the upcoming year. Excuses like time and money are STRICTLY PROHIBITED! Put everything on the list!

2) Share some of the fun things you came up with! It’s wild what your brain will produce when you set it free.

3) Take a deep breath and circle the ONE that pulls your heart the most.

4) Write your #1 on a separate, small sheet of paper. Burn it! This step symbolizes you allowing the universe, God, or whatever you believe in to be your guide.

 

Now that you have your big goal, how do you break it down and REALLY make it happen? Here’s are five steps to simplify it and make it happen:

 

Step 1: Rewrite your goal to be as specific and clear!
Here are a few examples:
I commit to eating a veggie-loaded salad Monday through Friday.
In January, I’ll exercise three times per week for 15 minutes.
In quarter one, I’ll take a 60 minute yoga class once a week.

Specificity feels better, doesn’t it? Being clear in your goal begins to carve the path between who you are now and who you want to be.

Step 2: List your reasons.
There’s a mindset exercise I love to guide clients through called Why ‘Til You Cry. I’ve attached a video lesson from my Build Your Base course that’ll take you through it. The basic idea is to dig into all the reasons WHY you want to achieve the goal.

It’s never about salads, right?! Here are a few examples of my clients’ WHY after doing this exercise:
“I want to be there to walk my daughter down the aisle.”
“My doctor told me losing weight could help me get pregnant and I want a family.”
“I want to say YES to adventures like climbing Machu Picchu!”

Step 3: Add a date stamp.

Not having a date stamp on your NY goal is like a race with no finish line! When I look back at the most fit seasons of my life, there was a performance test that I was moving toward.Inside my 90 Day Mindset & Muscle Transformation group, we complete this a Fitness Test once a month.

Your date stamp could be:
By the end of February 15th, 2019, I’ll complete 12 workouts!
By March 1st, I’ll lose 10 pounds.
By March 1st, I’ll be able to do 3 pull-ups.
 
Step 4: Tell someone!
Accountability. Like consistency, it sounds boring, but it’s MANDATORY for achieving your goals. Here’s a double dare for you – share your goal with someone AND set a date one month from now to check in. My friend Barb and I are doing this with our business goals this year and like magic, that looming deadline of reporting in is keeping me on track more than all of 2018!
 
Step 5: Read it out loud daily.
If you’ve ever tried this with anything, you know the power this step holds. I’ll leave it at that.
Good news: It’ll only take you a few minutes to do ALL these steps.
But, if you’re feeling a tad overwhelmed, oh wow, I get that. The pressure of a goal can be intense! Here’s a secret I’ve found to relief: join a team. This is SECRET step 6! In fact, overwhelm is exactly what my 90 Day Mindset & Muscle Transformation group overcomes!
 
Inside the group, I give you the ENTIRE PLAN to transform your health. We’ll set your goals. You’ll have accountability from the team and me! You’ll love your body more than ever! You’ll get DOABLE steps. You’ll get 13 weeks of workouts, mindset training and you’ll be able to do it all from home with a simple set of dumbbells.
Unfortunately, you just missed the January – March group! Wahhhh! But if you’re yearning for change, you can still get started TODAY! I have ONE spot open right now for online training! Book a call today to find out if we fit. See what I did there?

Katie
