Half Way There…
So we have recently hit the half way point in the year
Mad that really
And here’s the reality
Time moves FAST and it will soon be 2023
And what I would like to challenge you to think about is how are you feeling?
Are you on track with your 2022 goals/plan? and if not, why not?
This is something I am going bigger on within my 90 Day ‘Improve’ Program
Goal setting and planning
And here’s the thing, its tough setting big annual goals and easy to fall into the ‘overwhelmed’ trap
What I suggest is make the goal smaller and break it into smaller chucks
Setting 90 Day Targets like we do in the program does not only stretch you just enough
But also FEELS achievable
I just published my first book as I said last week
It was always a goal to get a book published and aim to get it into ‘best seller’ status for my category
That was seriously OVERWHELMING to begin
I mean, I knew where to start but I did not have a plan, coach or any idea on what to do next
And I could not be bothered wasting my time
How could I expect to write a best seller when I didn’t even do well at English at school haha?
I was never bad at it, have read A LOT over the years but writing 10,000 word is a different game
You must break big goals into small chunks
It all started with writing a word, sentence, a paragraph
Confidence only builds through imperfect action
Moving forward at some sort of pace
Too often we want things to be perfect ASAP
I had to re-do my book 1/2 times all in all AFTER it was written
I didn’t have a clue what I wanted the cover to look like or even what I wanted the title to be
until AFTER it was written
Same goes for this Improve program and workshop I did recently
I knew I wanted to do this and help people more on Mindset
Go deeper into it and teach things I haven’t taught before and I had to start somewhere
It all started with selecting a date/time/booking a venue
THEN aiming to get 50 people there within a 4-6 weeks of the event
Truth be told I didn’t do the slides and content for the event until the week of it
Same goes for weight loss
Yes you may want to go from 15 stone to 12 stone over the year
But the first target is 14.5
And you build from there
Losing 3 stone is super overwhelming when you haven’t even started
so it’s little wonder we give up so soon
Overwhelm comes when you aren’t clear on priorities – high/low value tasks/time/planning
Goals aren’t hit when expectations daily/weekly aren’t met
So if you are not on track or happy with how things are going
Make your bigger goals, smaller
And get clear on what needs to be done each day/week for the next 90 Days
Hope that helps
