Yesterday was another great day for me - good food choices and some excercise thrown in for good measure - Makes Me a happy girl!
Day 16 has us Setting the Right Goals
Setting the right goals is an important first step. And placing the focus on achieving those goals is just as important as the goal itself.
Annette gave us this valuable information:
Successful weight managers are those who select two or three goals at a time that they are willing to take on, that will meet the following criteria of useful goals:
Effective goals are 1) specific; 2) attainable; and 3) forgiving (less than perfect). Here's an example for you:
"Exercise more" is a commendable ideal, but it's not specific.
"Walk five kilometres everyday" is specific and measurable, but is it attainable if you’re just starting out?
"Walk 30 minutes every day" is more attainable, but what happens if you're held up at work one day and there's a thunderstorm during your walking time another day?
"Walk 30 minutes, five days each week" is specific, attainable, and forgiving. In short, a great goal!
And Remember to Learn from yesterday and make today the best day it can be! – There are no mistakes – just valuable lessons that pave the way to a new tomorrow
Goals are a dream with a deadline and making sure what you wish for is clear and precise - saying you want to wear smaller clothes is good but how can you reword that so it is clear and achieveable - how about
I will be trim, slim and healthy within 24months?
This is so much better as you have a clear goal to work towards and a time frame to work with.
As Annette says"Treat Goals as like a road map that ensures successful outcomes."
She continues on to advise us to:
They get you where you want to go so start by having realistic targets – obtainable goals you can achieve, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t aim high. I say dare to dream!!! I want you to think for a moment and write down but don’t think too hard, just dare to dream, describe the perfect you, the you that is healthy, trim, fit, energised and above all happy. Okay be realistic, I Be realistic with your expectations. Think how amazing your life could be if you were in control. That you and only you were the driver in your life and were able to succeed in whatever it was you wanted to be and do. What if you knew no matter what you just couldn’t fail, would this change your life? Definitely.
So what are you waiting for, all you have to do from now on is own the new and fabulous you. Write down what it is you have to do right now – to step up and make this dream of the perfect you become a reality. And just do it!!! I want you to know that you are capable of doing this, dig deep and find whatever it is you need within you to stand tall and know that you are amazing. You are a gift from god that is perfect as you are right this minute. Yes that’s right you are perfect right now. All you need to do is love and honor yourself in all ways. Find the hero within and let the world see how incredible you are. Don’t hide behind those layers of fat for another minute. Stand strong and tall and be the best you can be and know that I believe in you.
She is a wise woman that Annette - and you know what - she is just like you and me - she struggled with her weight for so long and then decided to do something about it.
She dared to dream, to loose weight, become healthy and trim, to finally be happy within herself.
This happiness lead to amazing things happening in her life - she dreamed big, put it out to the universe and the universe answered her and she is now a very successful business woman!
Time for us to think - what are we putting out to the universe????
