Setting Goals & Achieving Them!

‘Tis the season for resolutions & goals! Coach Michelle gives you tips on sticking with them!

New Year’s Resolutions

• Less than 50% make resolutions
• 91% don’t achieve them

Reasons:

• Too many goals
• Goals are too big, too broad
• Rely on emotions to keep us motivated
• Don’t address thought change…which then changes attitudes, habits, behaviors

To Achieve:

• Simplify – key is to ruthlessly eliminate
  • Go ahead, make a long list of goals
  • Then select your Top 3
  • Throw away all the rest!

• Get Small – focus on process rather than outcome
  • I want to lose 20lbs vs I want to be a person who walks every day
  • Write a book, read more, exercise more, eat healthier, reduce stress

• Consistency
  • Behaviors/habits often occur based on environment
    • Change your environment to promote success
  • Measure your behavior
    • Penny Method
    • Calm App Method
    • Evaluate last week’s progress

Evaluate regularly (every week is great).

• It’s easy to fall back into old habits
• Habit change takes time – 66 days
• Give yourself grace…then refocus & keep going!
