Goal Setting – Should You Be Realistic?

goal settingNew year, new you, right?

Or are you just setting yourself up for failure again? So you may as well not bother writing down or setting any goals, in case they are unattainable and you break them within one week of that infamous goal setting month, the biggest ‘Monday’ of the year as I like to refer to it, that’s right, New Years Day.

Personally I’m all for setting goals. To me it feels like you get to write the story, the story of your life that is, rather than leaving it for someone else to design. Some people find that stressful, I think of it more like an adventure… anything can happen (and its even better when what YOU want to happen happens – or rather, you finally pull it off. You have to believe it will though and you have to look at the goals every day and put in the work too).

So get to designing your life and see how creative you can be.

 

Here’s another few things to consider for you when you are ‘designing your life’ for 2015..

– Maybe we should throw the SMART system (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time based) out the window.. you choose.

– Perhaps your goals should scare the crap out of you. Perhaps you work better if they aren’t scary.

– Definitely write it down and put a time frame on it.

– Remember as many possible aspects of your life; educational, spiritual, emotional, family, relationships, career, money.. and not in any order.

– You may feel selfish but you should also be incredibly excited by the thought of them coming true.

– Plan/imagine DAILY what it will be like when they do come true.

– What are your health plans for 2015?

Healthy and Happy tip 4

Here’s one for the exercise conscious.

Do this before a ‘bad’ meal and after if you can too.

Squat ATG (ass to grass) – or as low as you can go. And do 50 of them. Yes you read right. 50. or OK if not 50, then 20-30, rest and repeat.

This sudden burst of energy will help you uptake the carbs more easily so they are less likely to turn into fat (read more about that here).

and if you buy anything from Tim Ferris’s website, tell him I sent you 😉

Healthy and Happy Tip 3

3: Always start the day with gratitude.

Even though there may be stressful times, particularly at this time of the year.. We are so lucky to have first world problem really aren’t we.

So cultivating an attitude of gratitude is something successful people do daily. Preferably 3 things in the AM and 3 things in the PM. So here’s my list;

I’m grateful that I can impact so many peoples lives through my work. I’m grateful for the health of my family and friends. I’m grateful that we live in a country unaffected by civil war.

What can you list that you are grateful for?

Healthy and Happy Tip 2:

2. Don’t forget to make time for yourself this silly season.

It can be as easy as a 20 minute walk or workout, or even just food planning so you don’t go hungry.

It can be 5 minutes of mindful breathing at the end of your busy day.

Whatever it is, remember you are numero uno xx
